*** FESTIVAL NEWS ***

Looking forward to it immensely! 

Here we have the finished art for the brand new forthcoming single 

“Windrush”! 

Created by the legend that is Dave Yorkie Moran, the single is imminent so stay tuned for an incoming release date! 

We're home. We're shattered but what a blast the 2023 East Coast USA Tour was.
We met soooo many great people, supportive people and had some amazing experiences that far outweigh the previous 2019 tour.
The respect and stature that we were given there just doesnt really happen in the UK. 

The Supernova Ska Festival…. Just…. Amazing

Truly. 
This list of thanks is a hundreds strong so THANK YOU one and all
Supernova was THE best festival ever. Not enough words cover that event. Rammed with original bands playing their original material selling their original DIY merch, the vibe was tremendous. The other gigs on the tour were superb, met some real characters and hard working promoters, it was a joy from start to finish. 
Big thanks especially to Tim & April Receveur, Manny Caballero, Sal Polichetti, Jack Brew, Eric Abbey, Caroline & Mike Burdon, Ruth Williams, Gary CT Ska, the inimitable Scottish Dave, PhillySka, 413ska, Bobby & Tiffany Rubin, Al L'Heureux, Pabel Anselm, Diana Hernandez, Out Of Control Army and all the supporters over there in the USA and here in UK. 
Living in central New York was a great experience!
What a tour.

We are pleased to announce the follow up single to Black Dog will be "Windrush", a great little upbeat tune penned by our guitarist George.
Its a singalong sweet celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush on UK shores in 1948 and it's fair to say without that event, this band or a scene would NEVER exist.

We can also announce the release of a new Skapones compilation album featuring studio, live & remixes on CD which will be our first USA album 🎉🎉entitled
"The Magnificent 7-How the west was lost " and unfortunately only available in USA for now so if you catch us on our East Coast USA tour in September, grab one.

Good Morning!
It may be vile outside still here in the UK but inside Skapones HQ it's sunshine all the way!
WE WON THE ORIGINAL LOCAL ARTISTS EVENT ON FRIDAY 4TH AUGUST! 
We attended the Local Original Artists showcase event in Newcastle Upon Tyne last night at the incredible As You Like It venue/bar/restaurant in Jesmond.
The night was run by MARISAM EVENTS, who we need to give a huge thank you to. Highlighting original local artists is an amazing thing to do so well done Marisam.
Massive shout out to the other acts on the bill JOSH HODGSON and TALIRAW for bringing their unique sounds to the NIGHT and thank you to everyone of you who voted for us to WIN THE EVENT!!
We can now look forward to a monthly paid residency as our prize.
Fab night fab venue fab people.
Skapones train keeps rolling!!
Woohoooo!

Due to popular demand, the much Acclaimed debut album “Cradle To Grave” is now back in stock on CD! in a smart slightly alternate colour wallet sleeve.

We were asked constantly at events about the availability of the album on CD so… Here it is

It will be available from the store on Monday 31st July and at shows. 

With great excitement we can announce that Monday 31st July sees the official release of “Black Dog” 

The CD Single has landed at Skapones HQ! Looks and sounds great! Cheers to Yorkie for eerie artwork!. 

The single will be released with promo video and digital download. 

SEE YOU Monday 31st July 

Available in the store and at shows.

Oh what fun  we had bit did it really turn out bad?? 

Well it rained for a 500 mile round trip and we lost a windscreen wiper in a torrential downpour 😁

Saturday 22nd July saw us venture to the Ancestral home of UK legends Madness at the Dublin Castle in Camden Town.

Great venue, great crowd all captured here by our very own Mike Lowery. ENJOY!
