The Insyderz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Insyderz are a Christian ska-punk - band from Detroit , Michigan ( USA ). The band had been active since 1995 before disbanding in 2005 and reuniting in 2009.

Band history

Its roots lie in the Salvation Army (ger .: Salvation Army ), where it is common practice, instruments to play. Along with The OC Supertones and Five Iron Frenzy , they were the most popular Christian ska band in North America . A hardcore punk band at the beginning , the group soon decided to switch to ska in the hopes of reaching more people for their Christian messages.

After their most active band years in the late 1990s, the group became very quiet due to a long break. After changing her label and releasing a new studio album in 2003, however, she was unable to build on the great successes of earlier times.

In 2005 The Insyderz gave their farewell concert with The OC Supertones and Seekersplanet at the "I'll Fight" festival. At the same festival in 2009 they played their first concert after their reunification.

Music genre

Stylistically, the band developed from a pure Ska band to an alternative rock band with Ska influences. Other styles are “ Praise & Worship ” as well as reggae and modern rock influences.
