The
Skraelings are a 5-piece band of noise deliverers hailing from the
cultural wastelands of Essex with roots and time spent in bands
from the 70’s Punk explosion onwards. Established in 1990, they
blazed a 4-year trail across the stages of squatted parties, free
festivals and the trials and tribulations of the pay-to-play
venues.
Present members have plotted and schemed their return to active
duties for many years ever since, 2009 saw it happen. Regular
rehearsal since then has produced a tight set that has drawn
appreciative responses, fanning the flames for more gigs.
2014 really kicked off for The Skraelings, ripping it up again and
meeting up with the old crowd and new in the fields and halls of
Britain.
2015 is shaping up just right for another year of moving around and
getting down to bringing the sound of The Skraelings to a wider
bunch of ears.
New recordings expected the second half of 2015.
The Skraelings have an EP, produced by Rat Scabies and Bob Earland,
released in 2014, available now.
