More Ska, More Guitar

About Me

Skaguitar have almost finished their new CD "More Ska, More Guitar", featuring the Skaguitar sound as we know it: powerful ska and reggae. It will be brimming with gutsy guitar riffs, instantaneously catchy sing-along melody lines, jazzy improvisations and progressive solos: all on a solid offbeat-basis. Autumn 2007 will see the release of this fine collection two traditionals and ten originals.

The formative years of the band were during the two-tone period and it shows, but over the years Skaguitar have developed their own unique sound, with influences from Ernest Ranglin to Steve Vai, from Django Reinghardt to Mike Stern. This results in a wide variety of songs: some energetic, some dreamy, always interesting.
