Pokemon Red & Blue (Title Track) SKA COVER

YEARS AGO, I covered this one and i really loved the arrangement, but I definitely did not have the chops as a producer to pull it off exactly how I visioned it.
The opening starts out with this ska-punk riff, but quickly shifts into a homage to the skatalites. The record hi-bop ska in particular. The drums are as close to a Lloyd Knibb trad ska style, with the bass being directly inspired by many basslines found on that record, the authentic Jamaica ska style just fits this tune perfectly
If you've been around for a while (or simply dug deep to my earlier covers) then you'll probably remember this one from over 6 years ago! Maybe you saw the skatune network live band perform it once or twice at magfest or PAX! I re-recorded this one hopefully to get it (and maybe many other video game covers) onto streaming! I havent uploaded a cover onto streaming for a while now, since 2023! Partially because it cost a lot of money. Hopefully with the addition to y'all, we can reach a higher level where I can return to uploading covers to streaming!
Regardless if we get there or not, A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who is here supporting! the channel! I am only able to make this all happen because of the support here! AND lots of stuff upcoming!
