Arizona ska-punk outfit Swigfoot have released Gatekeepers, a fiery new single that takes aim at scene purists while celebrating inclusivity. With fast riffs, driving brass lines, and a chorus built to shout back, the track embodies the band’s mix of punk grit and ska swagger.
Formed out of Tucson’s tight-knit punk scene, Swigfoot includes members with deep roots in projects like Hipster Daddyo & The Handgrenades and Troy’s Bucket. That experience shows in the sharp songwriting and energetic delivery of Gatekeepers. It’s a track that’s as much a call to the dance floor as it is a pushback against elitism in the scene.
At its heart, Gatekeepers is both fun and defiant—an anthem that insists punk belongs to everyone willing to sing, shout, and skank along.
