Reaching zero to sixty skanking miles an hour in the space of three chords, they work the crowd with the class of one of the UK's Ska tightest acts - tighter than Fort Knox in fact. An awesome live band, they steal the show with ease from seasoned performers with their trademark, breakneck ska rhythms and lush, three-part harmonies working together with choppy guitar sounds and an explosive horn section to truly blow the audience away.

The band were formed around the time of Charlemagne. That would make them over twelve hundred years old, which feels about right, but until they get round to carbon dating Papa Joe, their oldest member, it’s all just speculation. You might not realise this, but Ska music before the Middle Ages was quite different. It was slower for a start, with a lot less electricity.

BOMBSKARE are the Fat Man and Little Boy of Scottish Ska. Bigger, better, louder, tighter, harder and faster than the competition - they leave every stage like Tokyo following a visit from Godzilla. Firmly established as one of the top live draws in the country, the band's expertise and sense of fun has made every performance - from Shetland to London - truly special.
