Band History
Skasome Society was formed in September of 2006 originally in Westfield, Massachusetts. Kyle Bell formerly of Nevermind had met trombone player Frank Ascioti oddly enough through a series of Call Of Duty 2 Games. After talking about a newfound genre of music, they had recollected upon The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, one of their first and original influences. Soon after, Kyle Teamed up with former Guitar player Mike Thompson to create Ska-Some Society. Frank introduced his close friend Scuba Talmadge to play trumpet, as well as his brother Sam from The Worst Four Years for bass. Originally, Sam was not supposed to be a permanent member of the band, however, no one could fill his shoes, so Sam Ascioti hence forward became the permanent bass player.

For the next year and a half, the lineup remained the same. Ska-Some Society had the privelage of recording at Slaughterhouse Recording Studio for their first promotional demo cd "Secondary Start." They also soon after began playing almost monthly at The Webster Theartre Underground in Hartford, Connecticut. They have had the privelage of opening for such bands as The Suburban Legends and Johnny 9 and the Racers. Their proudest point foremost was winning a $1000 Battle of the bands.

After their so called local "rise to fame" band members began to go through some differences and Mike Thompson left. Ironically, one of Ska-Some's biggest fans and former guitar player of The Worst Four Years Dom Ascioti stepped in to fill his shoes. Since this point, Ska-Some Society currently has the same lineup, with the fact that Kyle Bell swapped roles with Frank Ascioti to aid in stage presence during live shows.

From this point, Ska-Some contested and removed the dash in their name due to promotional issues. Some talk about changing the band name was made, but fear of losing fan base held them back.

Soon after, Skasome Society had made two debut Television appearances. The first was Greenfields "Homegrown" pioneer valley local access. The second, WGGBY's Making it Here: Teenstyle.

During the summer of 2009, Skasome Society had returned to former guitar player Mike Thompson, now the owner of Zephyr Productions recording studio. Almost immediately after, they became known for their opening act for Big D and the Kids Table after a review from the Daily Collegian. They recorded their new album released on December 19th, 2009 entitled "PC4PC" signed under newly formed indie label: Argyle Gargoyle Records.

During the summer of 2010, Skasome Society announced that they had reached the end of the road and the band broke apart.
