Il nuovo singolo degli Shandon si intitola ‘Skate Ska’ e vede come special guests Vic Ruggiero, cantante della storica band americana The Slackers, e Count Ferdi, batterista dei nostrani The BlueBeaters. ‘Skate Ska’ segna il ritorno degli Shandon al loro tipico stile skacore fatto di chitarre in levare e fiati, sempre accompagnati dalla voce di Mr. Olly Riva, marchio di fabbrica della band dal 1995. Insieme al singolo è stato realizzato un videoclip, che verrà pubblicato in questi giorni, con la partecipazione di un po’ di ospiti speciali del mondo della musica e dello skate, le due passioni che sono alla base del ritorno di una delle band fondamentali della scena punk alternative tricolore.
