Release Notes:
Skylar hail from the South Coast city of Southampton & were formed in March 2004
by members of well known UK ska/punk bands Howards Alias & Identity #1. Their
current 4 piece line up consists of Nick Horne (keyboard & vocals), Matt
Reynolds (guitar & vocals), Peter Miles (bass guitar & vocals) & Robert King
(drum set). Skylar started as an outlet for Matt to use material he was writing
that wasn't suitable for the other band he plays in. After playing many solo
gigs, he decided that his thing is playing with other people, not by himself &
so Skylar was born.
Skylar play an incredible brand of laid back reggae & upbeat trad ska with very
soulful vocals. Low-fi, raw & rootsy tunes straight from the heart in the mould
of Chris Murray or Bedouin Soundclash are very much the order of the day on
their debut self titled album, which was released by Do The Dog Music in April
2006. Skylar recorded the album live in 11 hours after just 6 months of being a
band & having played only 7 gigs! The band hit the road in May & August 2006
around the UK to promote the release of the CD.
