As what all bands will tell ya, we all listen to different things and have different styles but if you really wanna know- Reel Big Fish, Deftones, Sublime, Beastie Boys, Big D and the Kids Table, Snoop Dogg, Kiss, Van Halen, Less Than Jake, Guttermouth, Bouncing Souls, Catch 22, Weezer, Death by Stereo, Skindred, Slipknot, Mxpx, Rancid, NOFX, Bob Marely, Eric Clapton, the Aquabats, Run DMC, Ice Cube, Voodoo Glow Skulls, the Vandals, Pennywise, the Descendents, ALL, AFI, the Misfits, Goldfinger, Operation Ivy, Hi-Standard, NWA, Mad Caddies, the Special, Madness, the Ordinary Boys and we've even been known to dab in a little Garth Brooks. We appreciate all forms and styles (some more than others). Whats the point in bounding yourself within restrictions such as style of music? Music is about being creative so influences should be taken from everywhere.
About The Hostiles Sep 7th @ Rockers w THE TOASTERS!!!!
“Taking ska to new places.” That is one of the many quotes from their growing fan base which is only getting bigger.
The Hostiles are an Ayrshire band who formed in late 2001 with a goal not to conform to popular music. The band, as a whole, is influenced by bands as diverse as Reel Big Fish, Earth, Wind and Fire and The Beastie Boys.
The Hostiles’ first love is performing live. All their gigs are unique with their own atmosphere and vibe, “You guys are exactly what most ska bands need to be.... good, creative, and catchy.”- garageband.com
They have shared the stage with great acts like Mouthwash, 3 Minute Warning, Catch it Kebabs, the Amphetameanies, Neville Staple, Zox, Beat Union, Zen Baseball Bat, King Blues, Chase Long Beach, Random Hand, Leftover Crack, Sonic Boom Six, Zebrahead, have toured with Fandangle and loads more.
The Hostiles have recorded 2 demos; “Big Kahuna?” at Soundmagic Studios in Ayr (2004) produced by JP Reid and “Niceday E.P” at Maybank Studios in Glasgow (2006) produced by Matt Harvey. Live Music Direct (Scotland) said that Niceday E.P was “serious, energetic, complex and fun to listen to” and “From a couple of listens to their EP I will certainly be keeping an eye out for them and what must be a compelling live performance.”
Having been together for almost 7 years now their collaborative writing has grown and their musical influences are always expanding. Performing, recording and expanding their fan base will be their main focus for 2008. “These boys kick the ass out of the Blink 182 brigade. If you get a chance go and see them, a definite recommendation”- livemusic.direct.co.uk

A blind man once stepped on Chuck Norris' shoe. Chuck replied, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Chuck Norris!" The mere mention of his name cured this man blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal roundhouse delivered by Chuck Norris.
