Artist Portrait

SKUNgK

Band,
Hip-Hop/Rap and Rock

Formed in February of 1997, Skungk immediately rose to the top of their local scene in Buffalo, NY. They quickly earned a reputation with promoters and press as an energetic, emotional, down-to-earth band with ample draw. By June of 1997 they had already released a self-titled debut CD and were headlining sold-out local shows, as well as opening for national acts that came through town. Having proved themselves on stage with bands like Incubus (Immortal Records), and Bloodlet (Victory Records) in their own hometown, Skungk shot out on the road. By 1998 they had sold 1,000 copies of their self-produced debut and logged countless shows in cities all over the Northeast. Through their tireless efforts and touring, Skungk has gained an impressive fan base in their own hometown, as well as cities they travel to. They were recently awarded "Best Hardcore Band of 1999 and 2000" in both the Buffalo Beat Magazine Readers Poll and the Buffalo radio station WBNY Listeners Poll. "We do not claim to be a hardcore band," says Skungk, "We merely contain certain elements of hardcore." Whatever you call them, the five members of Skungk add up to a serious assault on the senses. The band is again generating attention with their second release entitled “Status Symbol”, another self-produced CD showing more maturity and attention to detail. In fact, Skungk has generated so much attention that they have recently shared the stage with national acts like Static X (Warner Brothers), Taproot (Atlantic), Slaves on Dope (Divine), Papa Roach, Goldfinger, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Buried Alive (Victory Records), and One Minute Silence (V2 Records). The self-released, second EP further showcases the band’s strength as songwriters without losing any of the gritty edge found on their debut EP. “Status Symbol” is original, honest, and diverse. Once again Skungk has managed to deliver something a little different in an often overpopulated genre.
