The Prizefighters - “Think and Pray“ [Official Video]

“Think and Pray“ by @ThePrizefighters off the upcoming album ’Punch Up’ on Jump Up Records Album out on June 9, 2023 on vinyl, CD, and streaming platforms everywhere. A driving dose of supercharged 60s ska, “Think and Pray” is a dance-floor filler guaranteed to move your feet! Splashy cymbal work underscores a melodic push & pull between the horns and guitar, creating a boisterous, anthemic ska scorcher. While the title implies denouncing gun violence, the song serves as a reminder to us all to use what power we have to affect positive change.
