SKAM

About Me

SKAM are a Flick Rock band from The Midlands, Their unique Flick rock genre is a blend of classic British rock with elements of punk and Heavy Metal that will have your finger pointing and your head banging.

With over 250 gigs under their belt, playing in every major city in the UK, SKAM have become a professional and experienced band they inject energy and pure rock into every show they play.
These guys Rock hard, and you would be mistaken for thinking there was more than 3 of them.
The backline is solid combining the talents of the Viking, on Bass and X-Ray on drums. This allows Steve “Rock Ninja” Hill to be what a front man should be, Confident and fluent in the language of Rock he commands attention for his band and the music they play.
Each member of the band has a different personality on stage and the overall stage presence gives you no choice but to take notice.
They have been compared to such Greats as The Foo Fighters, Therapy? And AC/DC and have rocked the same stages as Blaze Bayley, The Wildhearts and Viking Skull.
Grab your Helmet, raise your Goblet of rock and join the Flick rock invasion!
