Band Biography
Forcing ethical hardcore punk on all who listen, Watford's Skirmish are a five piece band with dual guitar attacks and an aggressive vocal onslaught which bring venues into a riot of gang chanting frenzy.
Making friends locally and nationwide for around three years, Skirmish have formed a solid and devoted fan base and are locally revered for their full on live show and brutal anthemnic songs. Including a self organised UK tour in October 2003, Skirmish have shared stages with bands such as Captain Everything, Five Knuckle, Howard's Alias, Freebase, Varukers, Fireapplered; Skirmish seem to intrinsically cross the punk and hardcore sound, and according to Rock Sound play "Fight Metal"!
"Influences, as everyone always says about their own bands, are hard to pin down, but we think we have drawn most of our sound from UK punk and hardcore bands such as Five Knuckle as well as looking back on the early DC hardcore sound of Minor Threat etc."
"The Crooked and the Cavalier" CD is the bands latest recording set to be released through Last Chance Records early September. The band are looking to play as many shows as possible all around the country before and after the release. If you can put Skirmish on any of your upcoming shows, they would love to play and won't disappoint. They have several shows lined up in November with The Once Over Twice.
As a band, they appreciate how DIY gigs are run and how hard it can be to make these shows possible, as they are actively involved in running such shows themselves.
