The first single for Skambankt's unplugged album "1994" is "Balladen om deg"! You can listen to it on Spotify, for example. It's also used in the album teaser:



03/11/2019: 1994!

And here we go! Skambankt's unplugged album will be released on November 14!

Uh wait, what?! That was a bit sudden now, but yes: the rumors are true, Skambankt were at Color Sound Recordings to record a new album, leaving out the electric guitars and focusing more on the actual songs and lyrics. The result will be released on November 14 as limited white vinyl, "normal" LP, CD, and digitally. And since this record marks Skambankt's 25-year band anniversary, it will be called 1994! The album contains 11 well-known and one new song called "Når eg sover" - see the full list here. For more information, check All Good Clean Records.

Unplugged tour


05/07/2019: Skambankt Unplugged!

There have been a few live gigs lately where Skambankt played their songs unplugged. Tonight, they'll do the same at a sold-out concert at Martinique in Stavanger, and tomorrow night, they will play at a festival where you would never ever expect to see a band like Skambankt in the line up: at Egersund Visefestival! =:-o

Now, that is only a one-off, and Skambankt will stick to the rock, right?? Well, according to Stavanger Aftenblad, the answer is no ... and yes! "No" because Skambankt are currently working on an unplugged album containing acoustic versions of existing songs plus at least one new song. They'll record it in September and expect the album to be released some time this fall. "Yes" because there's no need to worry about Skambankt going soft - a "normal" album is already in the works as well, and it will be released after the unplugged album. So we've got not only one, but two albums to look forward to, yay!

Check out the tour dates and make sure you catch a Skambankt concert this summer - plugged or unplugged!
