about
Jeffrey Ernest Rosenstock (born September 7, 1982) is an American singer-songwriter from Long Island, New York. A central figure in the contemporary punk, indie rock, and DIY music scenes, he is best known as the frontman of the ska-punk band The Arrogant Sons of Bitches, the anti-capitalist punk collective Bomb the Music Industry!, the pop punk duo Antarctigo Vespucci, the punk rock band Kudrow, and for a prolific solo career marked by emotionally candid lyrics, energetic live shows, and a steadfast commitment to accessibility and independence in music. Raised in Baldwin, New York, Rosenstock co-founded The Arrogant Sons of Bitches in the mid-1990s, blending irreverent ska with punk’s aggressive immediacy. After ASOB disbanded, he founded Bomb the Music Industry! in 2004, a band known for its unconventional ethos—eschewing traditional merchandise in favor of stencils and spray paint, performing primarily in all-ages spaces, and releasing all music for free or via donation. Their approach earned them a reputation as “the Fugazi for the internet age.” In tandem with BTMI!’s launch, Rosenstock founded Quote Unquote Records, widely recognized as the first donation-based digital record label—predating more high-profile "pay-what-you-want" models by mainstream artists like Radiohead and platforms like Bandcamp. After BTMI! disbanded in 2012, Rosenstock transitioned into solo work with the self-released I Look Like Shit. Subsequent albums such as We Cool? (2015), WORRY. (2016),
