skell hails from Western Pennsylvania, where Mike Palone first teamed up with bass player Michael Ekis to form a band that would play the kind of music that was rarely heard on the local music scene. With the additions of vocalist Pat "Bones" Bono and drummer Keith Kweder, skell was set to play HUNDREDS & HUNDREDS of shows. Hammering down hard since early 2000, the shows just keep on getting bigger, better, and more badass!
"We all have diverse musical backgrounds. We wanted to draw on these to create something unique and broad-ranging... to take heavy music a step further by combining different musical styles into each song. We try to achieve on tape, the energy and emotion that we have in our live shows."
-Mike Palone
