Skullians are a four piece punk rock band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The band was originally formed in 2005 by the hands of Evan MacKinnon and Mike Castellano, who both shared the same vision to create a punk band that combined old school punk antics with modern sensibilities. Soon after, drummer Andy Desticamento was added into the mix and the trio began performing around Toronto. Then, in 2009, guitarist and vocalist Candice Ryerson joined the band, thus completing the punk rock quartet.

Soon after, drummer Andy Desticamento was added into the mix and the trio began performing around Toronto. Then, in 2009, guitarist and vocalist Candice Ryerson joined the band, thus completing the punk rock quartet. Note: Recently Andy parted ways with the band, and longtime musician Greg Kowalczyk signed on as Skullians new full time drummer.
Skullians live sound has been described as "punk-inflected garage-rock loaded with undeniable live energy", and most decent folks who go to their shows leave with a t-shirt and a cd in hand.
Their debut album "PURE" has received praise from many recognized sources in Canada and the UK, including www.punknews.org and CHARTattack (see memorable review quotes below).
With their "we don't give a fuck" sound, Skullians are definitely making their own personal skidmark on the underwear of Toronto's punk scene.
"Vicious guitar riffs, relentless drum frenzies, vocal variety and enough sharp-edged attitude to inspire a back-alley brawl: These elements dominate Skullians' Pure debut album." - Jody McCutcheon, CHARTattack.
"What you've got here is a band that seem to have a sheer enjoyment of playing punk rock music, not being overtly preachy but are out to have some fun (witness their promo video on YouTube and you will get that message square in the face)." - Rich Cocksedge, PunkNews.org.
