Skambankt

This article is about the band. For the self-titled album, see Skambankt (album).

Skambankt (Beaten to a pulp or beaten up) is a Norwegian hard rock band from Klepp, just south of Stavanger. They play a mixture of classic rock'n'roll, punk and hardrock in the tradition of bands like Motörhead, AC/DC, Sex Pistols, Ramones and The Stooges. All the lyrics are in Norwegian.

History

The band was founded in 1994 when a band who was going to play at a concert couldn't make it. They took the challenge to step in for the cancelled act, and wrote nine songs the same day and performed them later that evening. The line-up was Ted Winters on guitar and vocals, Don Fist on bass, and Hanz Panzer on 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. This album includes the video-hit KKK (Kristelig KulturKaos), featuring Prepple Homb on guest vocals.

Skambankt (album)

Skambankt is the self-titled first album by norwegian hard rock band Skambankt. Several of the songs from the band's 1994 demo were recorded for the album, as well as the songs they recorded while being an Urørt band. All the track names have an exclamation mark after them, complimenting the band's aggressive style.

All lyrics are in the norwegian language.
