Whitby and Scarborough band Skandals release third single - with more on way

The band frequently plays popular ska covers in Yorkshire coast pubs but this original track, called Work Bubble, is about how audiences loosen up as they move from work mode to weekend mode.It is the first of a series of singles planned for release over the summer and into the autumn and can be heard on the band's website atskandalsband.uk or on streaming sites.

The five-piece has been playing ska in local venues and festivals for 10 years and mixes covers of Jamaican original ska with two tone classics and ska punk along with covers of lesser-known recent ska tunes and some of its own songs.
