The first question is how does one define Punk Rock Reggae? This could puzzle most people.....until you've heard Skankamelia. Skankamelia takes your favourite elements and energies of Skanky Reggae, Soulful Dub Grooves and Head Banging Punk Rock.

It's hard not to have soul with family, and songwriter Dion Whaanga (vocals/guitar) fronts this exciting dynamic group with his signature vocals and beefy skanks, brother Day Whaanga (drums) nails it down to the floor - Reuben Quirk (bass) makes up the second half of this fat rhythm section while Lawl Rangi (guitar) adds intricacy with beefy melodic riffs and chunky grooves.

This is music that really makes you move with your eyes closed, and really zone out on the good vibes & good times! Skankamelia has entertained audiences across Aoteoroa on nationwide tours, and at New Zealands top festivals and events - Rhythm & Vines, Soundsplash, Parihaka Peace Festival, Uni Orientations, as well as tour support with Cornerstone Roots, Katchafire, House of Shem, Kora, Trinity Roots, Salmonella Dub, The WBC and Tommy. You may have also seen them perform live on John Campbell's Queens Tour series and Hyundai Sports Cafe.

Skankamelia work hard, financing their up and coming EP themselves (to be released in Feb 08). With their original sound man, Audio Engineer and Producer Aidan Mills (Hollie Smith Live, Little Bushman, Opensouls, Trinity Roots) they hit the studio last year to record the 4 track E.P., with brand new single "Home" and "On Vibe" to follow up as second single, this recording is the best introduction to Punk Rock Reggae....no doubt Skankamelia is ON!
