Happy Record Store Day
Here’s one for the crate-diggers!
Our new track “My Record Store” is our salute to spending hours sifting through records at your favorite local haunt. There’s nothing quite like it, hanging out for hours in a place with like-minded music lovers and perhaps finding your new favorite album. It’s our favorite way to spend the day, and we think “My Record Store” is the perfect soundtrack to go LP hunting!
The New Limits Perform at Jamaica Plain Music Festival
Two new original rocksteady songs for you!
“Normal Day” and “New England (You’re the Best) Now Streaming
What is normal, anyway? Some of us just want a nine-to-five. Others cry at the thought. “Normal Day” has nothing to do with quarantine and lots to do with figuring out what you want out of life.
“New England” is our Americana-Rocksteady love letter to the northeast USA. We’ve traveled all over but we keep coming back. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours. In fact, it’s the best.
New Song Available on Jump Up Records Sampler
We’re psyched to share that our song “Normal Day” has been included in Jump Up Records’ 2024 Supernova Festival Sampler! Part of our latest batch of recordings, “Normal Day” is a rocksteady song that’s appeared in our live sets over the last few years.
You can hear this new recording exclusively on this CD to be given out at Supernova Ska Festival and as part of the streaming version of the sampler. Listen here.

The Big E Hosts Boston Ska Band The New Limits
Late Night Set Will Keep Energy Up at The East Coast’s Largest Fair
This September, Boston-area Ska, Rocksteady & Soul band The New Limits will be bringing their danceable rhythms to The Big E, one of New England’s largest and widest-reaching events. The band’s late night set on Sunday, September 15th at The E Stage (8:30 – 10:30) will keep the fair’s energy going well into the night, and the band will be in good company performing alongside nationally-recognized acts throughout the festival like Ludacris, Diplo, Average White Band, and Public Enemy.
The New Limit’s appearance at the fair follows the release of the band’s new single “Dead Weight”, with more material set to be released in the coming months. The band is excited to be the second ever ska band to play the fair [citation needed]!
The band’s vocalist Julia Wolfe says it best:
“I’ve been attending the Big E since high school, and it’s the only place you can try cheese from every New England state, walk through an unnecessarily large butter sculpture, and most importantly, see your favorite artists from the very front row of the Big E’s many stages. To say I’m thrilled and honored to play the E Stage is an understatement, so I’ll say we are absolutely ECSTATIC to bring our love of ska to such a legendary event!”
Date: Sun, Sep 15, 2024
Time: 8:30 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: The E Stage, The Big E, West Springfield, MA
Included with fair admission, no additional ticket required
“We are incredibly excited about the variety and quality of performers we have lined up for The E Stage this year. Our goal is to provide a platform for local emerging bands to reach a wider audience, and we believe our guests will be delighted with the talent on display.”
– John Juliano of Mellowship Entertainment, The Big E’s talent buyer and entertainment program manager (via WWLP)
