Skambankt is a Norwegian rock band from Klepp, just south of Stavanger. They play a mixture of classic rock'n'roll, punk and hardrock in the tradition of Motörhead, AC/DC, Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Stooges... you name it. All the lyrics are in Norwegian, and they convey the real spirit of punk: against the state, against the system, against corruption, capitalism, monitoring, religious fanatism, and generally hate and treachery. To put it short: Against everything - but with brains. Rock group (or later rock band) is a generic name to describe a group of musicians specializing in a particular form of electronically amplified music. ...

The band was founded in 1994 already. The line-up was Ted Winters at guitar and vocals, Don Fist at bass, and Hanz Panzer at drums. But at that time there was not more than a few live-gigs and some demo recordings. Ten years later, the original Skambankt line-up met at a stag-party where there was a stage with full backline. Some time after midnight, a decision was made that the band should be continued. This time, it was easy to get a record deal, and after Hans Panzer shifted to play the second guitar and handed his drumsticks over to Tom Skalle, the band was ready to record their first self-titled album Skambankt, which came out in 2004.
Since then, Skambankt have played lots of concerts and festival shows, in Norway, Denmark and even Germany. The higlight up to now was probably their gig at Roskilde Festival 2005 where they played for 20.000 crazy Danes. Roskilde Festival is one of the two biggest annual pop music festivals in Europe (the other being the Glastonbury festival). ...
In 2005, they released the EP Skamania, which contains 6 new songs plus two videos. Just lately, Tom Skalle on drums was replaced by Bones Wolsman. The band is currently on and off recording songs for the next full album which is scheduled for 2007.
