We Are the Union is an American ska punk band from Ann Arbor, Michigan, formed in 2005. The band is now based out of California. The band has had many lineup changes since its inception, with vocalist/guitarist Reade Wolcott and bassist Brandon Benson as the only remaining original members. As of 2022, their live lineup often features guest horn players and touring members.
History
= Early years and hiatus (2005–2013)
=The band formed in August 2005 in Ann Arbor, Michigan due to members being "unhappy with the current state of ska music." Their debut album, Who We Are, was released in 2007.
Who We Are would be followed by albums Great Leaps Forward in 2010 and You Can't Hide the Sun in 2012. In 2013, We Are the Union announced they were going on an indefinite hiatus, stating: "We've decided to take a hiatus from active status. […] We were a band. Maybe someday we will be again. We've had some amazing times, and we truly appreciate those of you who've contributed to our existence. We've never been a supercool hype band or uberpunx beardy band, so we thank each and every one of you who listened to our music over the years."
= Return, Self Care, and Ordinary Life (2015–present)
=The band returned from hiatus in 2015, with Jer Hunter of the YouTube channel Skatune Network joining the band on trombone. They released their fourth studio album, Self Care, in 2018. Following this album release, the band appeared on Audiotree, and released new singles in 2020.
In April 2021, We Are The Union announced a new album, Ordinary Life, to be released on June 4, 2021, via Bad Time Records. Along with the album announcement, lead vocalist Reade Wolcott came out as a trans woman, with much of the album exploring topics surrounding her transition.
In November 2022, it was announced that drummer Brent Friedman would be leaving the group.
Influences and musical style
We Are the Union cites Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Slapstick, Less Than Jake, and This Is A Standoff as influences. More recently, they have been influenced by indie pop and pop music.
