The Danish V12 punk engine is known to always deliver on stage where the energy is kept 110% and mixed with loads of humor and self-irony. That leads with it unexpected humor-, tempo-, and genre crossovers that's going to appeal to even the dullest concertgoers. Gob Squad is simply a highly explosive cocktail with ingredients covering a great deal from the bar menu.

Gob Squad was formed back in 1996 by 2 youngsters (Thomas & Sogge) in love with the energetic and melodic songs of Green Day and Rancid. At highschool 2 music fanatics (Stauning & Flemming) joined and the quartet was born. A coupple of promo cd’s was recorded and some songs ended on various international compilations.

In late 1999 Flemming quit the band and Mads, aka. Battle King, took over.

In 2001 another promo was released and Gob Squad played at the famous Roskilde Festival and got 5 outta 6 stars in the official review. Later that year the combo headed for Germany to support American skapunkers Big D and the kids table on their Europetour.

During 2002 the former ska-punk band started writing more rock n roll inspired songs and worked harder and harder to become the most playing underground act in Denmark.

In early 2003 Gob Squad headed for the Antfarm Studio in Denmark to work with producer Tue Madsen. The plan was to record a killer album and use it to convince labels to sign the guys.
A promo-cd was released containing 5 tracks for the session. The rest of the songs was played live doing heavy touring activity throughout 2003, including a 3 week summertour with the friends in Toybomb.

The hard work, the growing number of shows, the good reviews, the awesome melodic songs, the professional acting on stage and the growing attention have payed off. Gob Squad have signed with Eye Spy Records & German Horror Business Records. The debut full-length will be released in april/may 2004.

The release will be supported by an increased touring activity in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Holland & Belgium for the rest of 2004.
