SKA-P is a ska-punk band formed in Madrid (Vallecas), Spain, in 1994, that could be categorized, politically, as an extreme leftist - almost anarchist - musical group. Despite its radical views, it remains one of the most popular ska bands in Spain and Europe.Musically, despite their fun image, Ska-P has well-rehearsed and tight arrangements, and as of 2002, includes among its members, and makes good use of, a small but striking brass section, creating a powerful sound which sets the band apart from others in the genre.Their nonconformist attitude is also evident in their eccentric haircuts. Some band members have mohawks while others are almost bald-shaven.At the end of 2004, they announced work on a new album. After voting 4 against 2, in February 2005, the sudden and unexpected announcement was made that the band would take a break to allow the members to work on side projects, though some consider the band to have dissolved. The band's worldwide farewell tour of 2005 ended in Buenos Aires, Argentina in October of that year. (Their farewell concert in Madrid, on September 24 2005, filled the 10,000-seat La Cubierta Stadium.)When band members have been asked to confirm "off the record" whether there is any truth to rumours of their getting back together, they have not ruled out the possibility, insisting that they are only taking time off.
