Punk Rocksteady is the seventh full-length studio album as well as the first cover album by California ska punk band Mad Caddies, which was released on June 15, 2018 by Fat Wreck Chords. It was released four years after their full-length Dirty Rice (2014). The album consists of twelve originally punk rock songs that were hand-picked by the band alongside Fat Wreck Chords owner and NOFX singer Fat Mike, who also produced the album, and transformed into their trademark reggae sound, while also using influences from other genres, like dancehall, rock music, ska, Americana and more.{{cite web |url=http://www.piuomenopop.it/index.php/2018/10/26/mad-caddies-i-paladini-dello-ska-doltreoceano-tornano-in-italia-per-una-data-a-marzo/ |title=MAD CADDIES: i paladini dello ska d’oltreoceano tornano in Italia per una data a marzo |date=October 26, 2018 |publisher=Più o Meno POP |access-date=November 1, 2018 |language=it }}{{cite web |url=https://thereviewsarein.com/2018/04/28/cmw-2018-preview-mad-caddies/ |title=CMW 2018 Preview – Mad Caddies Interview |last=Cassling |first=Trish |date=April 28, 2018 |publisher=The Reviews Are In |access-date=January 17, 2025}}{{cite web |url=http://www.thepier.org/interview-mad-caddies/ |title=Interview: Mad Caddies |last=Patti |first=Mike |date=June 5, 2018 |publisher=The Pier |access-date=November 1, 2018}} The entire album was made available for streaming a day before its release.{{cite web |url=https://www.punknews.org/article/67106/media-mad-caddies-punk-rocksteady |title=Mad Caddies: 'Punk Rocksteady' |last=Frankel |first=Ricky |date=June 2018 |publisher=Punknews.org |access-date=November 1, 2018}}
