Skavers

Skavers was an 8-9 piece old-school oriented ska band from Sweden. They played together from early 2002 til late 2008 and developed a pretty unique sort of sound.

The band members originated from different parts of the swedish music scene and mixed their influences in a harmonic way under the special sound of the first wave jamaican ska.

Balkan, funk, afrobeat, impro-jazz, trash-metall and reggae are styles that blend together in sometimes an almost unhearable way. Skavers were famous for giving very long concerts and forcing their audience to dance until there were NO sweat left in their tormented bodies. Or as the rumor says:

“Ska det va skavsår ska det va ska, och ska det va ska ska det va Skavers.”
