Long Island Punks Half Dizzy Drop Video For Pete Steinkopf-Produced Track “Fade Away”

Half Dizzy recently clinched the top spot in Alternative Press magazine’s fan-voted Best Long Island Band poll a testament to the growing buzz around the band’s high-energy blend of punk and ska. Highlighting their rise, Alternative Press wrote, “If this poll proves anything, it’s that the new generation has some serious heat,” praising the band’s ability to channel the spirit of ’90s skate punk and ska while keeping things fresh and relevant.

Half Dizzy’s infectious new single “Fade Away”—recorded by Bouncing Souls guitarist Pete Steinkopf at Little Eden in Asbury Park—has only added fuel to their momentum. With wildly catchy choruses and relentless energy, Half Dizzy are proving they’re more than just a nostalgic throwback—they’re a band to watch right now.

Driving the rhythm and heart of this song is the masterful drumming of Mason Cohen and bass playing of Mina Maziekis. They lay the foundation for the rest of the band to create a punk rock summer anthem that is equal parts anthemic punk rock and summer fun. It reminds you of summer love stories and the nostalgic pull of the real Van’s Warped Tour.

“This feel-good summer track brings a wave of nostalgia, blending upbeat rhythms with reflective lyrics about unforgettable memories and sun-soaked moments. Perfect for road trip playlists and feel-good radio rotations, it captures the heart of summer with a timeless, carefree vibe” – Daniel Marchelewski, Guitar and Vocals
