Artist description Skeleton Service is a hardcore trio that melds elements of punk, hardcore and traditional metal into its own distinct sound. Crunch-core guitars, stutter-stop riffs, booming low-end, break-beat rhythms, and in-your-face vocals all combine to give Skeleton Service its lethal, yet accessible groove. Lyrically, Skeleton Service focuses on the internal turmoil in dealing with the harsh realities of the new millenium.

Artist History Skeleton Service was formed by Mike Ryan (guitar, vocals) and Guy Caruso (bass, vocals) in Boulder Colorado in 1994 under the moniker of Deadpan. Shortly after recording a 3 song demo, the band name was switched to three%. Under that heading, Ryan, Caruso and drummer Jason Nunn recorded an 8 song demo that displayed their increasing desire to push the limits of the hardcore sound. During their stay in Colorado, three% played numerous shows in and around the Boulder/Denver area. Realizing that the East Coast was more suitable for their sound, Ryan and Caruso made the journey back to the East, where they were both originally from, and settled in the New York metro area. Here, they hooked up with veteran hardcore drummer Danny Insalata whose style cemented the bands distinct hardcore sound. With Danny on board, the group hit the studio to record their most ambitious effort to date, a 3 song EP that shows the continued growth and evolutiion of their hardcore sound. The only problem being that a band from the Northeast was already using the name three%. Alas, the band was born again as Skeleton Service, servicing all your hardcore needs. Unfortunately, recent turmoil has led to the departure of Caruso from the fold, but Skeleton Service rages onward.
