Voiceks Voiska were the first ones in Latvia to play ska music and still is the best known ska band in Latvia. Formed under a name Voiceks as a solo project of lead singer Jourelis the band is around from year 1993. In 1998 band began to experiment with ska music, adding horn section and soon changing its name to Voiceks Voiska. Band released their long awaited self-released first album Konvojs in year 2004.
Unlike many non-english ska bands Voiceks Voiska sings only in their native language - Latvian, and sometimes also in Russian. The band does not strictly stick to any subgenre of ska - while most of the music can be described as two-tone ska, the band also takes brief excursions into punkrock, russian rock music, latino music and other styles. The result, however, always is very upbeat, danceable and fun.
Currently we are looking for opportunities to play some shows outside Latvia, so if you like what you hear and see and want us to come to a venue near you - let us know! It also works the other way round - if you are on a European tour and want to come to Latvia too, we can help you to book a couple of shows. So let's keep in touch, dear fellow skankers!
Oh, and here are couple of home-made videos for your watching pleasure:
