The Skum

About Me

It started back in 2000 and I haven't looked back. Though we've evolved over the years with the gain and loss of numerous members, we have kept it going - regardless of personal fights and people thinking we suck. We are here to stay, and have got to play with such acts as the Queers, the Virus,AGENT ORANGE, Cheap Sex, Blanks 77, Funeral Dress, The Devotchkas, The Vibrators,THE MEATMEN, MDC, Vinny Stigma, Clit 45, Oxblood, Eyes Of Hate, The Clap, Endangered Feces, Midnight Creeps, The Sleazies, Public Uproar, Stressbomb, Last Call Brawl, Zombie Vandals, and countless others. We may drop off the radar from time to time but we will never go away - like a case of Herpes. Though the members have changed the message has always remained - we celebrate the things viewed by a normal society as disgusting, vile ,and vulgar.
