The Bandgeek Mafia - a Mixture of Ska, Punk, Hardcore und Emocore from Trier/Germany

Sticking to this motto, the band called THE BANDGEEK MAFIA declared war to the narrow-minded reality of musical phllosophy. To give Ska music a completely new and extraordinary Interesting shape, however unusual it may be on the first glimpse. They cleverly combine sticking melodies, powerful riffs, excellent brass and aggressive shouts and can in that way uplift themselves from a lot of bands coming from that genre. Though mxing ska music with emo elements seems to be capital sin for some guys, THE BANDGEEK MAFlA proves strickingly that such a fusion arrests one's attention and intoxicates.
