The Skandals

About Me



The Skandals is a 7-piece Ska Authentic band from Copenhagen.
The band has gained success very early in their career, and may be one of the youngest bands in Europe with that great routine.

The Skandals write and play all their music themselves, and they have been playing lots of concerts, hitting big venues all over Denmark and with occasional shows in Sweden. They have been sharing stage with big names as The Slackers, USCB All-stars, Natasja (R.I.P), Alton Ellis (R.I.P), Skalar, Magtens Korridorer and Danish reggae stars BliGlad.

The style is the authentic ska, as it was played in Kingston in the 60’s, influenced by artists such as Skatalites and Toots & the Maytals - mixed with sweet rocksteady and tuff roots.

Thanks to Urs, Kaare, Sophie, Shawna & Mathias for some of the pictures.
