Skinwalker are : Kev Robinson (Bass Guitar, Vocals), Jim McClelland (Guitars, Vocals), Paul Doherty (Guitar, Vocals), Mike Ellis (Drums, Vocals), & Jeff Downey (Keyboards, Vocals). Formed in 2006. Our aim is write and perform songs, which are reminiscent of the bands from the seventies and eighties, which inspired us so much. The results are songs which are guitar based, with solid bass and drums, and melodic vocal lines, which we hope you will like.
Why this name?
Skinwalker is Native American name for a shapeshifter/werewolf type creature.
Do you play live?
We've played a few of the festivals in Cumbria, most notably Maryport Blues Festival.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Being stuck up here in Cumbria, it means we don't have to travel hundreds of miles to be heard.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, we'd love a deal. To be able to play and record music with no money constraints would be excellent.
Band History:
Formed in Summer 2006. By Kev, Jim, and Mike. The band were joined by good friend Johnny Miller, on guitar, in late 2006. The band spent the remainder of 2006 and 2007 writing and recording.

Anything we can get our hands on.
Anything else...?
We would like to thank Kev's missus & Neighbours for putting up with the noise, Johnny Miller for the extra guitars on the CD, and the gods for giving us the faith to carry on, when all around us falter.
