Skankan are a Polish ska band from Sosnowiec, southern Poland, who formed in 1993.[1] They are often referred to as the most influential ska group in Poland, with the status of "legends" on the scene, having greatly contributed to the genre's popularisation in the country during the 1990s.[2][3][4] Skankan disbanded in 2009, but returned after a 10-year hiatus in 2019.[5][6]
