AG Sorette’s exposure to ska dated as far back as middle school with Sublime, Reel Big Fish, and the Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtracks. After playing in various ska and punk bands in his teens, Sorette combined his love of writing with music, and began writing about bands and covering concerts for his college newspaper and New Hampshire-based publications such as The Hippo Press and The Wire.
