Backy Skank

Beginning as an original music project created by members of the cover bands Complete Madness and The Fabulous Blues Brothers, Backy Skank quickly rose to the top of the late 90s/early 2000s Sydney ska scene as one of the few bands playing the more traditional 2-tone style alongside the city's many ska-punk and rockabilly bands. With a few core members by his side, vocalist and songwriter Simon Smith would assemble and maintain various lineups over approximately 20 years and two albums, with the band finally calling it a day in 2017.
