Hey folks,

All of us over at Class Action are super excited to be releasing a new EP, Serious Business, this September. It’s been a long time in the works, 3 years since our last release, and we are really pleased with how it turned out. The album has six songs, one of which you can check out not over at https://classactionska.bandcamp.com/

We’ll put up another song a little before the CD release as well so keep an eye out for that.

Hey folks,

We took a couple months off playing shows so you may have been wondering where we’ve been, obviously you’ve been refreshing this website daily if not hourly hoping for any kind of an update. Well today, you are in luck!

First off, we do have a show coming up.We’ll once again be joining The Planet Smashers when they stop by Calgary, make sure you come early to check us out. Nov. 7 at Dickens!

Unfortunately this is going to be our pal Nathan Obreiter’s last show with us. He’s going to be a father, and has decided he needs to focus on that for the time being, so we wish him the best and while we will miss him, we are excited for him to start a new chapter in his life.

As much as I am sad to see Nate go this does present the wonderful opportunity of having only six people in the band. Think of all the room on stage, think of how much easier it will be to book shows and plan jams. I love the full sound that we have but I will say that with every additional member we have, the logistics of the band get exponentially harder.

The reason we haven’t played any shows for a few months is because we have been focusing on writing some new songs with the ultimate goal of recording said new songs into a format where you can listen to them where ever you so desire. So far we’ve got three brand new songs, and we’ve worked out a new cover that we are very excited to debut as well. I’m hoping that we can add at least one or two more to that number in the next few months and then hit the studio sometime in 2015.

We’re going to stick to the oldies for the Planet Smashers show but we’re looking to book a show or two in December or January to debut all our new material.

Lots of exciting stuff coming up for us. Hope to see you all soon.

A couple Calgary shows coming up with some great ska bands ska bands from across the country. July 2 at Dickens, we’ll be playing with The Skinny from Montreal as well as reggae act Tasman Jude from Grande Prairie.

August 1, our friends the Bone Daddies from BC will be joining us at Vern’s for a night of ska.

We’ll also be heading out west ourselves at the end of July to spread a little ska and see how many hours we can spend together in a handi-bus before we start to hate each other and break up the band. Catch us in Kamloops on July 21, at the Music in the Park, on July 22 in Kelowna at Fernando’s pub, or on July 25 in Vancouver at the Railway club. More shows and more details will hopefully be announced in the near future.

Also the Calgary Beer Core just released a compilation album which features 32 amazing Calgary bands, including yours truly. Pick one up from us the next time you see us or at any Calgary Beer Core show. The CBC (that’s Calgary Beer Core not the broadcasting corp.) did a spot promoting the comp on the Calgary Herald’s Bandwagonish podcast, which features us.
