“SKANK,” as it is known in its current manifestation, is the cathartic reconciliation between founding brothers, lead singer and lyricist Skunk and the quite reclusive but visionary bass guitarist, Kyle Koter. Their mutual passions for music stem from childhood bonds, mutual loss, and alienation; they transcend all things commercial and conventional.
SKANK’S idea of playing to, and not for a crowd go back to a Heineken soaked, hot and humid garage just north of Chicago, and way south of High School. Through bands like HOURGLASS and FREAKS OF NATURE, Skunk, Kyle, and then guitarist Brian Thomas worked their apocalyptic noise, a raw sound caught somewhere between Hardcore punk and old school metal, until it exploded into a crescendo of local praise. Their fake Id’s were acquired so they could play at local bars, but the booze and girls would kill the project before it got off the ground.
“Circle of Pain” has been heavily played regionally, and as far away as Jacksonville, Florida. “Maggots” has been steadily gaining critical acclaim and was recently designated “Most Downloaded Song” by nextceleb.com. These four guys have made huge sacrifices to make the Skank concept into a reality. There is no way to turn back now, Skank is in their blood; it is who they are. Like the Skank motto says… “Skank or Die!!”
