New Jersey’s The Phensic— reggae, ska, punk rock & 2 Tone— have released their second new single of 2025 with “Foul Play.” The track comes with a lyric video, so that you can try to croon along (don’t quit your day job). The song follows January’s “Do It Scared,” and continues a series of monthly singles going back to November.
Take a listen to “Foul Play” below, and visit The Phensic’s Linktree page for all things Phensic. They’ve also got quite a few gigs spread out throughout the year, most of which are a monthly residency at Shrine World Music Venue in NYC , starting in April. Find details and ticket links for those beneath the lyric video.
