Have Nots

Have Nots are a ska influenced punk rock band from Boston, Mass. 

Since self-releasing their debut full length record “Serf City USA” in Jan 2009, they’ve done a lot of things.  Named one of Alternative Press Magazine’s 100 bands you need to know in 2011, they’ve spent the majority of the past several years on the road.  They’ve toured with or played with genre legends like Dropkick Murphys, Street Dogs, Big D And The Kids Table, Swingin Utters, Less Than Jake and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.  They’ve played to thousands at huge clubs and festivals, and to dozens in cramped basements and dive bars.  They’ve had music featured on MTV and The Cartoon Network, and played live on BBC Radio 1 in London.  They’ve received glowing reviews in many big national publications and many more tiny scene zines.  They’ve sold thousands of records, met some amazing people, and seen some amazing shit.  Not half bad for a little ska punk band from Boston. Their latest record “Proud”, released May 3 2011 on Paper and Plastick Records, finds the band coming into their own.  Fueled by thought provoking lyrics and the clean/gruff vocal interplay of Matt Pruitt and Jon Cauztik, "Proud" reflects on topics such as love (“The Years”), loss (“Anywhere But Here”), growing up without selling out (“Proud”), getting old without growing up (“All Or None”), personal accountability for the economic recession (“Freedom Of Recession”), and neglect of the US soldiers (“The Brink”).
