Today AMR turns 25. Wanted it to feel like a community/wanted folks to know a POC was involved in diy/wanted AAPI kids to know they weren't alone in punk/wanted to push ideas of peace/wanted to have an outlet for my music. Thank you for 25 yrs. I am blessed. Peace, mike park

People love to hate on a band like @ReelBigFish ... But the truth is, when almost every other band of the 90's ditched the genre when it was deemed as UNCOOL, RBF was one of the very few bands still out there representing the SKA. So today, I give my props to RBF.
