 sly committed to bringing hard reggae\, ska\, dub and punk rhythms togethe
 r in a fresh style. The band have a passion and organic togetherness craft
 ed through years of writing and performing with each other. Clara Byrne's 
 mesmerising lead vocals cut through like a wave of emotion\, her lyrical i
 ntegrity straight from the soul\, with serious social and political issues
  explored through dramatic delivery. From hard steppers to traditional ska
 \, furious punk and sprinklings of soul\, Dakka Skanks come with the style
  and always bring the dance.\n\nSince their formation in 2016\, and with a
 n album and several single releases under their belt\, Dakka Skanks have b
 een continuously picking up live shows from promoters across Europe\, the 
 first Spanish mini-tour of the Madrid area generated more offers including
  shows across Germany\, France\, Belgium and Spain. 2018 brought shows wit
 h Madness\, Neville Staple\, The Skatalites\, headline slots across the UK
  and the rest of Europe and 2019 onwards has seen more extensive European 
 touring\, shows with the likes of Bad Manners\, The Skints\, Dub Pistols\,
  The Toasters\, many large festivals and much more!\n\n\n\n\n\nAKA The Syn
 dicate are post-millennial ska-punk supergroup born from a health-scare an
 d launched during a global pandemic. What could possibly go wrong?!\n\nSon
 gwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gary Knight launched the project in 2019
  after being diagnosed with skin cancer. It was the impetus to finish a se
 t of songs he’d been sitting on for a few years. “Luckily it was not m
 alignant”\, he explains. “The spot was removed in May and gave me the 
 ‘kick up the arse’ I needed to finally complete some songs I’d had i
 n my head for ages.”\n\nAn accomplished touring musician playing in a bu
 sy ska-covers act The Collective AKA in the south east\, Gary has shared t
 he stage with many successful musicians and amassed a wealth of friends an
 d contacts. With one completed song under his belt he went back to an old 
 haunt\, Panther Studios in Reigate\, owned by punk and psychobilly royalty
 \, Richard Coppen (Tenpole Tudor/King Kurt/The Weird Things). “Once we
 ’d nailed one\, I knew we had to do more and so it began.”\n\n\n
