The Classy Wrecks

The Classy Wrecks are a Toronto-based 5-piece ska band known for their high-energy performances and infectious sound. Formed in 2016, the band quickly made a name for themselves in the local music scene with their unique blend of ska, punk and reggae. In 2018, they released their debut full-length album, Bedrocksteady, to critical acclaim, and were recognized nationally for their YouTube channel.

Some Ska Band

In October, 2011, five scrappy musicians formed a band with one simple dream: to pull off the biggest diamond heist the world had ever seen. In the process they discovered a shared love of ska. They started covering early ‘60s classics as well as 2Tone and Third Wave tunes before writing their own original songs in a contemporary ska style. Soon the band was playing gigs across the region and opening for bands like The Pietasters, Pilfers and Bim Skala Bim. In 2018 the band released a self-titled, 9-track CD and in 2021, played the Supernova International Ska Festival.

Over the years new musicians joined and others moved on, but the band has remained true to its upbeat ska roots. In 2020, Tricia Lynn-Gonzalez, safe-cracker and lead singer with the legendary 90s band The Miggedys, joined the crew. Today Some Ska Band is a tight, 9-piece outfit, and while they have yet to pull off that heist, they’re keeping busy packing dance floors and recording your new favorite songs.
