Bio

Sgt. Scag (aka Sgt. Scagnetti) has been a fixture on the Northeast ska/punk scene since the late 1990’s. Songs about dysfunctional parenting and revenge fantasies developed into teen center anthems. After an 18-year break, the band is BACK and actively releasing new material about teeth, Burger King and illegal fireworks salesmen . They will play the old stuff too. Don’t worry.

At Least More than Half-Way Dead

At Least More Than Half-Way Dead is the first proper full-length release from Sgt. Scag since 1999. 11 Tracks of new material written since 2018 when the band reformed to play Supernova International Ska Festival. They simply never talked about stopping. It hasn’t come up. Releasing on September 2023 on Ska Punk International Records, At Least More Than Half-Way Dead is the record your parents make post mid-life crisis. When they realize the sports car didn’t fix their marriage and get really into hiking. A band that always struggled letting people help them, growing smarter and accepting some help.

<aside> 📣 “We worked too hard and too long on this record. Truly. A painstaking effort that never enough people will hear to make the effort worthwhile. Can’t stop, won’t stop.”

<aside> 📣 “We should have put a cover song on this record so that we could trick more people into listening. We didn’t, not because we didn't want to collectively. We all knew it would be a smart move. Maybe even fun. We couldn’t get more than 2 of us to ever agree on a song and we probably talked more about that idea than any other idea and then it just never happened. I love this band so much.” -Steve Lonergan, vocals
