skell hails from Pittsburgh, PA. where the Mike Palone first teamed up with bass player, Michael Ekis, to form a band that would play the kind of music that was rarely heard on the local music scene. With the later additions of vocalist Pat Bono and drummer Keith Kweder, Skell, already one of the Pittsburgh area's biggest draws, just keeps on getting bigger, better, and louder.

"We all have diverse musical backgrounds. We wanted to draw on these to create something unique and broad-ranging... to take heavy music a step further by combining different musical styles into each song. We try to achieve on tape, the energy and emotion that we have in our live shows."
-Mike Palone
