NEW SINGLE NEWS!

In January we got back into the studio to record the second album in Darlington and we are recording "Dorians Going Grey" ,"You Can't Let Go" and "Rude Boy Rude Girl".- just before we head off to Glastonbury to play in the live heat semi finals.

Its been decided that in February we will release the bouncy bouncy "Dorian's Going Grey" as our next and 7th single. 

2020 sets off at a pace!

We have had an amazing 12-18 months.

We are proud that we are a totally DIY band, the old punk ethic, do it yer fucking self!

We've seen many great venues and festivals and great countries and of course...a tour with The Specials.

and now as the year fizzles out and 2020 comes knocking - we finish up in  fine style in  York, North Yorkshire on December 31st with special guest from The Specials Roddy Radiation and that has SOLD OUT!

Thanks to Anna and the Victoria Vaults team x

Here they are - the great new designs by Yorkie!

The Vintage 79 Apparel Collection is amazing -  and ladies... we cater for you now!

On sale 28th December from our shop and soon after at gigs!

Yes, that's what happening here in Skaponeland.

We welcome new boys Kev Watson (Bass) and Michael Larkman (Drums) into the fold and they are settling in brilliantly-

We've got a new photo shoot planned for new promo pics and to go hand in hand with the new we have anew line of fabulous tees designed by our genius mate Dave Moran including the utterly fantastic Skapones 79 vintage Apparel - this looks classy as hell.

We have a new band logo as well as we move on to the next phase - See here -  it really encompasses what we are about these days.

The garments will go on sale from 28th December and a  massive thank you to a Reloaded Shirts.

The futures so bright... we gotta wear new Skapones merch ( and shades I suppose...)

Thousands of bands entered from around the world and we are down to the final few. Just 2 x 20 minute sets away from playing at the Glastonbury Festival.

We travel down to Pilton to perform in front of judges including Glasto head man Michael Eavis (and a crowd- you can  get tickets)

ORIGINALROCK.NET NEW SINGLE REVIEW

Here we go again!

Friday September 20th sees the release of our latest and 6th single "When Its Gone Its Gone"

We love this track, a real 2Tone inspired banger of a tune written by Stephen Brown & Steve Cummings about not wasting your life and going out and grabbing what there is to experience.

The single will be available from all good download stores such as iTunes/Cd baby/ Amazon/Google and the Cd single will be with us shortly that contains 2 live tracks  "Sahara" & "The Rolling Years".
