With slick guitar riffs, hard driving rythm section, snazzy saxophone, and classy vocals - Skellum's upbeat pop will rock the house.

Skellum are a top five piece Edinburgh based band, writing and playing their own material; a mixture of pop, rock, blues and ballads...

The three initial members can still be seen in and around Edinburgh doing accoustic ‘open mic’ sessions. However - with the introduction of Drums in 2006 and Bass in 2007 - the band are more often seen playing at much louder volumes.
