Ska Boom

All star Ska band Ska-Boom! UK are the UK's hardest working, authentic and exciting Ska music sensation - bar none! Formed in mid February 2008, a group of Teesside based musicians formed the band through a wanted advert in a local music magazine that had been placed by the drummer Matt. The band was put together through a genuine love of ska music and all things 2-Tone. After initially meeting for the first time, the 8 lads decided that it was time to put Ska music back into peoples minds and back into Teesside, the North East and beyond, and set out to find a local rehearsal room. Rehearsals commenced less than a week later and got off to a great start, and the band have never looked back.....

The band have now performed over 1100 shows since their formation in 2008, building them the flawless reputation they have today.

As the band members were all familiar with the Ska music format through a mutual love of the whole Ska and 2-Tone scene, the actual replication of the songs came very easily. An amazing amount of interest and support has been shown by many local people, bars, pubs and clubs and the whole nostalgia factor of the music and authentic sound and appearance of the band has generated the re-ignition of a scene that has been out of people's minds for many years. We are a working class Ska band who are not out to make big money, but to go out, play our music and have fun. We have the authentic Ska sound of an infectious dance beat and rich brass section reminiscent of the Ska scene of the early 80's.
