SKPONK! - What's that? - Punk riffs combined with ska, a dash of rock'n'roll, polyphonic singing and horns!
The Stout is most likely attributed to the skapunk genre - however, the 7 Gentlemen manage to unite different styles of music to bring ska to a new level. Various elements merge into an impressive sound, that is, with keyboard, trumpet and trombone, what The Stout stands for: Fun, exuberance and high spirits on and off the stage!
What startet in 2006 with the album "Brainwashed" was brought to perfection with "Locked and Loaded" in 2008. The Stout cover quite serious issues in their lyrics, but at the same time, their message is: "Stand Up, don't be sad, enjoy your life!"
During their numerous appearances in Central Europe they were already sharing the stage with bands like:
Mad Caddies (USA), Zebrahead (USA), Junkyard (USA), The Jessica Fletchers (Nor), Emil Bulls (D), Abuela Coca (Urg), Frantic Flintstones (Bra), Big John (USA), Alkbottle (Aut), Großstadtgeflüster (D), Russkaja (Aut), Guadalajara (Aut), Rentokill (Aut), PBH-Club (Aut), Millions Of Dreads (Aut), Days In Paradise (Aut), Multiball (Slo), Eternal Tango (Lux), Jerx (D/Aut), The Electric Diorama (It), Yellow Spots (Hu), Superbutt (Hu), Bankrupt (Hu), The Staggers (Aut), Open Season (Ch), Spillsbury (D), Curtis Jensen (Aut), Jonas Goldbaum (Aut), Rising Girl (Aut), Herbstrock (Aut), and many others.
