In the beginning there was a catastrophic boom… and, without the use of an epidural, Skookum was born. Out of the depths of a deep forested bush lumbered this enormous behemoth of rawk! It had a thunderous bottom end and the animals would gather round to hear its driving beats and infectious rhythms. This indescribable beast could only be known as Skookum!

Skookum was formed by CoryVan & Audie who met while studying various forms of art at the renowned Emily Carr Institute of Art in Vancouver, BC. They shared and differed in various influences from over several decades of great rock, pop, metal and alternative music. Their common interest in art was soon eclipsed by their mutual passion for chunky guitar driven rawk. Together they drew up the Skookumanifesto: No pretenses. Big sounds. Good Times. Rock & Roll!

Of course, making great music is serious business for the passionate band which includes “Shiny” Wilson on guitar and Python on drums, both solid players who pad the Skookum sound with impressive music
