Skookum‘Skookum’ is slang for “Big n’ tough”, impressive 'n' cool; but its origin is a Pacific Northwest term for Sasquatch, or fearsome and swift. With powerful riffs, big grooves & a walloping vocal punch they sound Skookum: A scrappy groovin’ band from Vancouver, not afraid to slow down once in a while. Making great music is serious business for this group who claim creativity & laughs as their mantraRise Above It All, released 27 October 20221. Not All There2. Rise3. Faith4. Howboutchu5. Back6.

WhoppertunitySKOOKUM - RISE ABOVE IT ALL – Press Release (October 2022)On March 20, 2020, Skookum was ready to play a show at the Roxy nightclub in Vancouver Canada to kick off one last gig before taking 15 new songs into the studio the very next month. But then the world shut down….What came next was months of uncertainty and the band wasn’t sure when or if they could go in and record what they now present as “Rise Above it All”. This collection of 10 songs mostly written well before 2020, but in a strange twist of fate, captures the times we live now. A musical journey perfectly encompassing the strange, challenging, and often bleak period of history we are currently experiencing, but always with an underlying current of hope.Our most mature and emotional album to date, but always with the patented Skookum tongue in cheek humour our fans have come to expect .
