Ska-P is known partly as being one of the most popular ska bands in Spain, Europe, and Latin America but they also have a huge reputation as an anti-establishment group and their music is deeply political.
They gained a commercial break in 2002 when 'Que Corra La Voz' appeared on a number of European charts and by 2004 the band announced they were planning a follow up. However, abruptly at the beginning of the next year they decided to take a break as a band from Ska-P and progressed other musical side projects, the band had basically dissolved at this point.
However just two years later, Ska-P confirmed their return and released 'Lágrimas y Gozos' in 2008 which peaked at #6 in their native Spain and they accompanied this with a brief tour, playing just one date in their home country. Their next album '99%' remains their highest chart position in Spain to date, debuting at #3. Their energetic live show and political ska music has taken them on tours all over the world including the US, Canada and Japan. In 2013 they released their only compilation album to date titled 'TODO Ska-P' which features a selection of their best selling work and the band's favourite tracks from their long career.
Ska-P are a Spanish ska-punk outfit skunking their way out from Madrid, bringing forth their firebrand style that can be one moment biting political commentary and the next full off-kilter wit. Whilst Ska-P may have called a hiatus back in 2005, they have returned intermittently over the years and there is every chance they will return to a stage near you in the foreseeable future. Since 1994, they have released seven albums, with the last being 2013's "99%," which proved they are still full of ideas.
Live, they are as tight and well-rehearsed as a military parade, accompanied by a small brass section that still manages to create the power of a herd of 60,000 elephants roaring their trumpets Guns of Navarone. It is always an unhinged affair, reflecting the energy of their music. As a 9-piece, they create a full, raucous sound, projecting their lively brand of ska that could be described as anti-establishment.
Ska-P still tour globally, finding great success in Spanish speaking countries. Yet regardless of the language difference, the vivacity and infectious nature of their music will instantly get the audience jumping wildly in appreciation. With mohicans and checkered kilts, Ska-P just scream fun and that is exactly what they offer in their live show, yet the music is still of the highest quality. They have been going for a while, but in n way has the veracity of their performance being dampened by age.
