SKRT

Bio

SKRT began in 2013 as a queer-centric two-piece in a Dayton, OH basement, has evolved into a way-way-over-the-top art-punk trio whose addictive music is completely unable to sit still. Members Asche (they/them), Abbie (she/her), and Micah (he/him) start where most other bands stop, with no fear of singing a catchy melody over a great guitar riff, and throwing it all onto a bonfire of jagged rhythms, strange sounds and edgy lyrics. Their music contains high-energy quick changes, infectious bass lines, and vocals sounding as if Judy Garland lived long enough to listen to Slint. It’s rare to see a band pull off what SKRT seems to do effortlessly - embracing the experimental and strange successfully within three-minute songs that are both fun and compelling. SKRT has shared bills with bands such as: Ganser, Kitten Forever, Minority Threat, Screaming Females, Ringo Deathstarr, R. Ring, Dana, and Hissing Tiles and are regular headliners of Ladyfest Dayton. We put out their split EP with LUNG in 2020. It’s a banger, stream below
