Jokes for Feelings

Jokes For Feelings is an Oakland ska-punk sextet formed in 2006, rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area DIY scene. Their songs mix ska-punk with comedy-tinged lyrics and serious undertones, drawing on bands like NOFX and Blue Meanies. The group self-releases through Oakland Bird Records and has played regularly at 924 Gilman Street since the 2010s. Live shows are crowd-pleasing, high-energy sets built around local ska-punk bills and mosh-friendly Bay Area clubs.
