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 additions of vocalist Pat Bono and drummer Keith Kweder, Skell, one of the Pittsburgh area's biggest draws, just keeps on getting bigger, better, and louder.

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