“SKOOKUM has been described as a HARD ‘70’s sound! The sounds are big and reminiscent of KISS, Sabbath and some of the Seattle bands of the early 1990s, the riffs fused to amusing lyrics that’d make Frank Zappa proud.”
– Tom Zillich, Surrey Now Published: Friday, November 30, 2007

RISE ABOVE IT ALL
SKOOKUM – RISE ABOVE IT ALL – Press Release
On March 20, 2020, Skookum was ready to play a show at the Roxy nightclub in Vancouver Canada to kick off one last gig before taking 15 new songs into the studio the very next month. But then the world shut down….What came next was months of uncertainty and the band wasn’t sure when or if they could go in and record what they now present as “Rise Above it All”. This collection of 10 songs mostly written well before 2020, but in a strange twist of fate, captures the times we live now. A musical journey perfectly encompassing the strange, challenging, and often bleak period of history we are currently experiencing, but always with an underlying current of hope.
Our most mature and emotional album to date, but always with the patented Skookum tongue in cheek humour our fans have come to expect .

“Either sit back and snicker at the soaring rocker “World Comes Crashing In”, or grab an air guitar and unleash your inner Ronnie Van Zant while earnestly knocking back a bottle of Jack. Or you could just as easily do both, because with Pleasure Cruz, there’s no telling which decision is right, possibly because neither is wrong.” ~ Mike Usinger (the Georgia Straight) on Twitter: @mikeusinger.
“Skookum seems on a mission from God to fuse borrowed parts of Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction, Thin Lizzy, and Spinal Tap. Except that the trio doesn’t seem to be in on the joke, if in fact there is one.” ~ Mike Usinger (the Georgia Straight) on Twitter: @mikeusinger.
