Skam

Formed four years ago by Steve Hill (guitar), Matt Gilmore (bass) and Ray ‘X-Ray’ Peverill (drums), Skam are a three piece, hard rock band based in Leicester. With over 350 gigs to their name to date and having played in every major city in the UK this is a crack live unit with a stage show second to none.
Influenced by bands such as AC/DC, Iron Maiden and The Foo Fighters the band have a reputation for delivering no nonsense, gutsy, classic British rock music. Their passion and conviction as a live act has resulted in a strong local following, with one notable local reviewer dubbing them “Leicester legends.”
Seasoned road dogs that they are, March 2012 saw the boys complete a sold out UK and Ireland tour in support of The Answer and The Union. This tour allowed the band play to over 10,000 people. Previous to this they had secured slots supporting several major rock acts including: The Wildhearts, Laika Dog, Bonafide, Blaze Bailey and Del Bonham’s Stray. Other memorable gigs have included a sold out Saturday night at the 350 capacity Cavern Club in Liverpool and playing to over 7000 festival goers at Glastonbudget 2011.
With two self-produced EP’s already under their belts (both of which were supported by UK club tours), Skam released their debut album in December 2011 which was produced and recorded by renowned hard rock producer Matt Elliss (Terrorvision, Black Spiders, Laika Dog, Groop Dogdrill) at Axis Productions in Doncaster. The ten song self funded album is a considerable step forward both sonically and in terms of songwriting. This has been proven by the excessive amount sold both online and at live shows.
Skam are busy putting together a summer 2012 tour and are currently working out the details for a string of festival appearances.
SKAM are a band that are ready to take the British Rock scene by storm, be sure to catch a live show soon!
