About Me


Alternate content
We have recently been sponsored by heavy weight energy drink relentless, this shit will keep you up for rocking and partying for weeks!!!!! Check out our blog on their site: www.relentlesscore.com

It’s been a minefield of a year for Bucks rockers Skirtbox. Will, (vocals, guitar) Jon, (vocals, guitar) Tom, (bass) and Matt (drums) have been playing on and off together for over 8 years. But this year has been the most challenging and rewarding at the same time. Having dispersed of money hungry investors, devious record labels, and a host of broken promises, the band has finally arrived! With infallible determination, persistence and hard work, in November 2007 the boys entered Fortress studios and recorded the blistering self-titled album they knew they were capable of. With Sikth’s own Justin Hill and Dan Weller at the helm, something very special has been created.Instead of worrying about hair and make-up Skirtbox have concentrated their efforts on writing killer riffs, ear shredding solos and huge hooks all delivered with a no bullshit attitude, a good sense of humour, and a tight as hell live show.Skirtbox have taken their influences that lie in eighties and early 90’s rock and metal and given them a fresh lease of life. Carefully crafted songs oozing with melody, power and unparalleled catchiness. This is rock and roll that will stand the test of time. One listen and you will be hooked and ready to throw your sweat soaked fist in the air at the next gig. Skirtbox are here to kick you up the arse and put a smile on your face at the same time.
"80's tinged metal-big riffs flying in from all angles"- Kerrang!
"Skirtbox sound like High and Dry era Def Leppard jamming with Cinderella, Skid Row with a guest spot here and there by Judas Priest, and they are out to kick you so hard in the ass you can taste the boot polish in your mouth!" www.headbang.co.uk
"the sort of music to bang your head, shake your head and pump your fist (or girlfriend) to.'" www.rockunited.com
"they inject an old school party vibe into the atmosphere"
"Old school cock rock the way it should be played - with a grin"- melodicrock.com
