Skatune Network is the YouTube channel and music project of Jeremy Hunter, who takes all of your favorite songs and turns them into ska songs. Hunter also makes music under the name JER and plays trombone in We Are the Union. In December 2016, Hunter, having recently purchased recording equipment, began posting ska demos to Facebook, including a joke Christmas cover of José Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad" (entitled "Feliz NaviSKA"). That cover, as well as a similar rendition of "Auld Lang Syne" for New Year's Eve, were unexpectedly popular on the site, inspiring Hunter to start the Skatune Network YouTube channel. An early cover of "January 10, 2014" by The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die was shared by the band on social media, and within a week of launching the channel, Hunter had acquired over 2,000 subscribers. That number would expand to 100,000 by August 2019 and 200,000 by December 2021. After an April 2018 cover of the Mii channel theme went viral, Hunter began regarding Skatune Network as a "full-time job" rather than a side venture. A November 2018 cover of La Dispute's "Such Small Hands and Nobody Not Even The Rain" was requested by the band themselves; that same month saw Hunter begin touring Skatune Network as a full-live band with shows in St. Petersburg and Orlando, Florida. In February 2019, their cover of PUP's "Free At Last", off their album Morbid Stuff, was one of 253 fan covers included in the song's official music video. Later i
