Formed in the early 1990's with a sound that resonates with the energy of rock and punk, the Caribbean "riddims" of reggae, ska, and dancehall as well as the rhythmic appeal of classic soul, "The Skeletones" deliver a fusion of sound that is as diverse as their Southern California roots... Yet as easily accessible as a groove.
It is with this distinction that they have commanded stage performances on 3 continents for nearly 20 years. Formed in 1986 by Paul "Prince Skeletone" Hampton, "The Skeletones" have honed their craft by playing alongside rock icons like No Doubt, Sublime, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Fishbone, Incubus, The Skatalites, Bad Religion, 311 and countless others.
Originally perfectly comfortable to be deemed a "SKA" band by fans and critics alike, The Skeletones latest material promises to provide an insight into the deepest core of their vast pool of seemingly unrelated influences.
The direct result is a professional act that has become an influential force in independent music, and one that continues to influence new generations of like-minded rockers in the process. |
