At first, a 6 piece ska band was formed. they were the unibombers. or TUB for short. but this did not go well. things were out of hand. the band thought that a change in name would help things go smoother. So the name was changed to "Lemon Party". As you can guess, this name was also changed due to... obvious reasons. They became Up For Grabs, and invited two more members into the group, and started actually practicing. Then one day, the drummer's brother's band, The bottle Cap Bandits, hooked them up with a show. and mere hours before that, the named changed once again.
We are "Knights From Around".
The newest addition to the myrtle beach ska scene, the Knights From Around hope to bring back traditional ska methods to the local genre, while expanding and adapting on the idea of eclectic ska.
