Skankstasy

Skankstasy is an energetic punk band hailing from Germany, known for their ferocious sound and provocative lyricism. Formed in the early 2010s, the group quickly captured attention for their unapologetic blending of hardcore punk and ska influences, all while delivering a fierce critique of social inequalities, gender norms, and political injustices. Fronted by charismatic lead vocalist and songwriter Joschi, Skankstasy has become a voice for queer visibility in the German alternative scene, often challenging homophobia and transphobia both on and off the stage.

Over the years, the band has built a devoted following through their relentless tour ethic, playing everything from squats to major festivals, while their recorded output, including standout releases such as “Cognitive Dissonance” and “Burn Out,” has drawn acclaim for its raw honesty and infectious energy. Skankstasy continues to evolve musically while remaining steadfast in their commitment to radical inclusion and punk’s activist spirit, earning a reputation as one of the most vital and uncompromising acts in contemporary German underground music.
