“Take a stand for what you believe in” is what vocalist Pierre Pettersson sings in one of Skumdum’s songs. It is also what this fast and furious punk band from Skellefteå, Sweden is all about. Their aggressive music and often-political lyrics are combined with strong songwriting and catchy harmonies.
Pierre Pettersson (vocals/bass) Patrik Stenman (guitar) and Chris Tjärnlund (drums) have been playing together since their early teens. They formed Skumdum in 1993. Marcus Lindkvist (guitar),“Linkan” joined the band in 2002 giving them their present line-up. The band released their debut album with English lyrics in Scandinavia in September of 2005. Skumdum’s “Skum of the Land” received outstanding reviews from press all over Scandinavia and Europe. Their hit single “Big Disgrace” made the charts in Sweden and was played on national radio several times through out the year.
Through blood, sweat and a lot of hard work, Skumdum has become one of the most popular punk bands in Scandinavia. They tour heavily, on both national and international level. Their unique sound, in-your-face mentality and uncompromising attitude have given Skumdum a well-earned reputation for being an extraordinary and mind-blowing live act. Combining passion and devotion for music with the aim to make every show even better than the last, it is easy to understand why Skumdum’s popularity has increased so rapidly during the recent years.
