There’s a lot to be said about Scottish punk ska band The Hostiles.

Since having formed in 2001 in their hometown of Ayr, Scotland, the band ( Josh Barron –

Vocals, Steve Bruce – Trombone, Kenny Shand – Trombone, Bob McBride – Drums, Nic

Milano - Trumpet) have already toured alongside the likes of REEL BIG FISH, and played

alongside the likes of LESS THAN JAKE, ZEBRAHEAD, MAD CADDIES and more across the

punk spectrum.

Having already taken their ‘upbeat, effervescent, bouncy, and danceable’ (Punktastic) live

show across the UK, their ferocious and infectious ambition has already seen the band build

an almost global audience, having now toured over 22 countries, including Europe, Canada,

Japan and South East Asia.

Having taken sonic influences from the likes of NOFX, KING PRAWN, and CAPDOWN, the

band’s previous records, Always Looking Forward, and Last Call received a huge level of

press and industry appraisal, including DISCOVERED, PUNKTASTIC, VIVA LE ROCK, and THE

SOUNDBOARD.

Building on their ‘infectious, exuberance, coarse riffs’ (Viva La Rock) and ‘irrepressible

energy’ (Power Play) the band entered the studio in 2018 to record their newest release,

Love & Lacerations, which has already seen major press coverage and backing.

A live show that’s intensity and formidable reputation that can be comparable to the likes of

DESCENDENTS and RANCID, with a solid true and integral DIY spirit, The Hostiles are quickly

becoming one of the most important, and revolutionary bands to lead the new wave of ska.

“Brimming with infectious exuberance, coarse riffs and bouncing brass instrumentals” – Vive Le Rock

“The Hostiles simply have an irrepressible energy that shines out through

their music and makes them impossible not to like”- Powerplay Magazine

“A nice change of pace from the perennially sunny SoCal fare to something a bit more real” – The Soundboard

“Fun yet slightly angst-ridden packed with a Lucozade bottle of energy” – Broken Arrow Magazine
