Interskalactic Announce EP Release Date and Irish Tour

I remember seeing these guys perform live at a festival in Leixlip last year and just being in complete awe of what they did. Although it wouldn't typically be my type of music, I would have to agree with Ryan Tubridy when he says that Interskalactic are the "future of ska in Ireland".

The band are set to release their forthcoming EP on the 31st of March before setting off to play a host of pre-summer shows throughout Ireland.

Their upbeat set features covers from classic ska artists including Prince Buster, The Skatalites and Byron Lee and The Dragonaires, their own ska-ified versions of popular hits from the last few decades, and now also their own music - this upcoming EP features five new and original big band ska tracks.

Although this will be their debut EP, the guys have a huge amount of experience behind them. Playing at festivals up and down the country as well as some iconic venues such as Vicar Street, The Workman's Club and Whelan's.
