Jerome Colon of hardcore street punk band Unshackled checked in with the following:

Hey guys and Gals! Hope everyone is doing well.

One of the craziest things for bands is the amount of love one can get. Especially punk bands; the underground culture is extremely passionate about the bands they like. Over the years I still see people hitting “like” on our fb page. Quite possibly in hopes of seeing or hearing something new. As much as I’d love to say we are in the works with new tunes, we are not. However I would love to get to know a lot of you.

After Unshackled took its hiatus I went through a rough patch and along the way lost my zeal and passion for ministry and people. Fast forwarding to where I’m at now, Ministry and people have become my passion once more. I have since found a closer relationship with my father and looking to make strides once again. Please add me on any social media accounts you’d like. I’d love to meet brothers and sisters who love/loved our music.

Never say Never, for we never know what tomorrow brings.

Yours in Christ,
Jerome Colon aka Coach

Unshackled is/was a Christian street punk band out of El Paso, Texas. The band’s unique Stompworship melds Praise with an amalgam of different punk rock subculture sounds from Hardcore to Streetpunk, all to the backbeat of a million tumbleweeds thundering at warp speed. Bringing together a message of Hope, Truth and Roots, “The Overcoming Years” captures Unshackled’s energy and fun, as it brings hope to those on life’s dead-end roads.

“The Overcoming Years” has been released in Aug. 2011 through Thumper Punk Records. (Our review can be found here)
