Defier Glad I've found these lads. If their tunes won't lift you up, nothing will. Favorite track: nothing stays the same.

open the papers turn on the news survey the headlines its all doom and gloom mountains erupting there's bodies in lakes there's nothing but bad news coming my way slingshots and arrows the forecast is cold suicide's up 10% so i'm told the mirror the sun yeah they all say the same Denis o Brien's in the news once again chorus yeah, what i wouldn't give to be somewhere anywhere's better than this what i wouldn't give to be somewhere landslides and earthquakes explosions and war millions left homeless i cant take no more propaganda and bullshit pumped into our eyes if it isn't bad news it's right wing lies slingshots and arrows gunshots and crime big bold black letters on front of the times remind me of what state the world's in today the headlines change but the story's the same double vocal chorus yeah, what i wouldn't give to be somewhere.............an all i wanna do is be somewhere else with you anywhere's better than this........................................an all i wanna say what i wouldn't give to be somewhere.....is maybe someday things will change billboards are saying send twenty quid while showing us faces of poor starving kids mothers they cry in the streets why oh why must we send our poor sons off to war just to die chorus yeah, what i wouldn't give to be somewhere anywhere's better than this what i wouldn't give to be somewhere

about

The Skalps Dublin, Ireland

THE SKALPS.

We were never supposed to become a band, we were a group of musicians brought together by Tommy Byrne or should I say stolen from other bands hence the name ( The Skalps ).
The idea was to record a 4 track Ep then go our separate ways but faith jumped in and as we played and jammed together we found a nice little groove that was fun and inspiring,
The Skalps were born.
