Getting past the interesting name of this hard-driving band is not easy. In fact, some who read the name on a play list or cd cover may begin imagining just how scary these kids are. Without knowing a lot about their personal lives, it would be hard to say if they are frightening as individuals or not. But if band members are to be believed, the hard-edged sound and unique name don’t accurately portray the group’s motives. In fact, former drummer Peter Costa once stated that the members of the band try not to take themselves too seriously.
SKSK relies on buzz and Web communication among fans as much as any alternative/indie band around. They have built a small but loyal following among those who appreciate the angst and anger put forth in such songs as "The Only Medicine" from The City Sleeps In Flames. This tunefeatures nice guitar work and crisp drums, along with the popular combination of clean vocals and scream/growl method.
Tyson Stevens provides the majority of the vocals, with support from Chad Crawford. DJ Wilson carries guitar work, along with Steve Kirby. The guitars and vocals are supported by James Ethridge on drums and Pouyan Afkary on keyboards.
