Thousands miles driven, thousands full lenght/singles sold, hundreds shows played and proudly stuck in the undergorund...that's could be the best way to introduce The Offenders! Formed back in 2005 in Italy by vocalist/song writer/ guitar player Valerio, but based in Berlin since 2009, Offenders represent today one of the most energic and powerfull band in the ska punk scene, with their unique mixture of styles, from 2tone ska to mod79, from rocksteady to rockabilly, melodic sing a long anthems sang all over Europe and played all over the world by many ska djs! Their first full lenght “Hooligan Reggae” released in November 2007 on a small indiependent label “Conehead Records” became a classic in the underground ska scene,and the title track still without any doubt their most known song.

In April 2010 “Anthems from the Gutter” mcd, their first release on Mad Butcher Records, it's definitely a sign that the band's sound is becoming way more personal and full of several musical influences, never forgetting the 2tone roots!
