Skansis are back, that exciting hard rock band from Bern in Switzerland and they are better than ever.  The play play slick hard rock with an aggressive edge.  If you have a liking for bands like Gotthard, Van Halen, Europe and George Lynch then these guys are just up your alley.  They have opened for bands like Krokus, 3M (ex Whitesnake), Vivian and Shakra in the past and it will not be long before they are headline material themselves.

Skansis are a very new band and have only been together a few years but in that time they have created a stir in the competitive world of rock music.  'Take Your Chance' (ESM156), their debut album featured 12 tracks of outstanding quality and garnered rave reviews across the globe.  They do possess that air of originality that sets them apart from the rest and it really is pleasure to the ears, the tracks seem to flow effortlessly from the start, the new songs are that much more exciting than the debut.  Tracks like 'Next To Mine', 'I Want You' and 'Back From War' really do have you begging for more.  Of you like bands such as Shakra and Gotthard then you will love this band!

'Leaving You' will hit the streets very soon and Skansis will attract a whole new fan base on top of the one they already have.
