About Me

Formed in the midsts of cider and filth, Skull Tanker decided to form to make some noise and have another reason to get drunk.

The first beginnings of this band occurred around alcohol, a internet connection and a well known auction site. a drum kit was purchased, and before too long it was installed in the garage and the unholy racket began. the nearby residing ex-vicar took a dislike, and through this neighbourly dispute we found our goal, to make dirty, filthy, shittycore sounding punk metal and have a great time. our first ep has been recorded, titled 'load fear, press go', recorded in a garage on an ancient teac reel to reel home recording system.

If you want a cd- get in touch! we'll sort you out. and give you a demo. we're currently on the quest for gigs, so if you dont mind letting us play with you then give us a shout! You are welcome on the cursed galleon.
