Jump Ship Quick - Where Thieves Cannot Tread

Punk rock should be fun right? Well... Sometimes it should be fun. The latest band on the Thumper Punk roster, Jump Ship Quick, have found a balance of creating fun punk rock with politically and spiritually charged lyrics.

Musically Jump Ship Quick reminds me of Off the Record, The Smiley Kids, and Side Walk Slam. It's fun, upbeat, fast, just solid punk. But lyrically the band uses their platform to tackle issues like abortion, bullying, and church corruption. While punk rock as a platform to speak out isn't a new idea by any stretch, the Christian scene has never fully embraced using punk rock as a platform to tackle touch issues. It makes Jump Ship Quick standout.

It's a solid punk record and like everything Thumper Punk puts out, it puts me right back to junior high and high school watching G-Rock and skateboarding. Fans of Craig's Brother, Rise Against, and old school Tooth and Nail/Screaming Giant punk will love this record.
