These
self proclaimed 'super skankin action hero's', originating
from the Wylye Valley, Salisbury, perform an amazing blend of
the finest ska and rocking punk, are the ultimate party band. THE
most sexually distracted band in the history of everything,
Spankboy have a punk-fuelled ska calypso style they describe
as 'bitchin blends of fly ska beats n party rockin punk rock'.
A band starting
off as a 3 piece back in 1998, has since developed into a 7
piece, with a 3 piece horn section. They have become pretty
big on the UK live circuit, with sell out shows up and down
the country. Their biggest recognition has to be in Salisbury,
where they are based, where it is virtually impossible to get
tickets for any of the shows there these days (I should know).
Their first
release, 'Adventures in Blue Flash',
a 10 track self released CD, was a big hit, with every fan
owning one. The more recently released 'Medication',
a 5 track EP, has a much better, stronger sound. Unlike
'Adventures In Blue Flash', where the tracks were written
specifically with a live situation in mind, the new tracks are
far more suited for a CD. All of their songs are as catchy as
hell and very infectious.
More recently,
Spankboy put pen to paper to sign to Moon Ska Europe, which
they've now released their new EP 'Rise On Up' on. They also
just finished supporting [spunge] on their recent UK tour!
