Well, our adventure started in 2002. It was a nice day and we decided to start a band. At first, the concept was a traditional punk rock band – no ska involved like yet. But as time went by we started to mix punk and ska – the outcome is the sound that you know as THE ECCOS – pure ska punk at it’s best.
New friends joined and some of them left the band but the concept was always the same. Despite all the line up changes, we tried to play as many shows as possible in clubs around our hometown and abroad, (birthday) parties, festivals and a lot more. The goal was to play - it didn’t matter where or when. We were young kids with an overdose of energy and a great desire to give it all at every show. We always try to connect fun on stage with leaving a message to the lads. There was a point, after that project was no longer just making music, more to the truth it became a way of life for us all.
We loved the fact that we started to be more than just a band. Nowadays, the band - "The Eccos" - is our way to lead our energies – bad or good ones – to fulfil and identify ourselves with it. It became our way of escaping from reality, where we work in jobs we don’t like for money we don’t need! We’re talking, singing, writing and thinking about revolutionary and humanitarian topics like sexism, fascism, racism, slavery as well as animal liberation and environment pollutions and many more problems, that we think the world should face.
After more than more than 100 shows in AT, GER, HU, CZ, SK and SL we shared the stage with bands like Panteon Rococo (MEX), The Locos (ex Ska-P ESP), Rantanplan (GER), Karamelo Santo (ARG), Argies (ARG), Streetlight Manifesto (ex Catch22 USA), The Toy Dolls (UK), Emil Bulls (GER), The Peepshows (SWE), Stroh (ESP), Kafkas (GER), Planet Smashers (CAN) and many many more...
So... Now, every time you join an Eccos show you do not just support a band! No, you’re supporting a scene, a cause, a different lifestyle which we call unity, a unity to make the world a happier and safer place.
Come to our shows and dance!!! Thanx for being with us!
