    Estevez are a 4 piece ska punk band hailing from Chepstow in South Wales,they play an awesome fast brand of skacore which could be likened to King Prawn or Capdown. OK I'll level with you-theres no bio on their myspace for me to steal but they are fucking amazing so go check em out.

    They said they are not doing any gigs at the moment, not sure about split up though. That was when I asked around april some time.

    One of them put us on in May, apparently it's the end of the road for Estevez and they're starting something new. If I remember rightly Smile

    thats well rubbish- I did think that they'd split or something quite a while ago-but they have a couple of gigs posted on their myspace so I figured I was bullshitting myself. anyway split or not they are still/were a wicked band.

    Sounds fresh to me. Like the guitar work. The brass sounds tightly focused. The man from Del Monte says how the fuck are ya.

    ye there local boys to us and there all the nicest people ever and joes a ledgend ,hes put us on a few times and allways gave a place to stay and shit(even if his house didnt have elecctric haha).

    they dont have the recognition they deserve at all,i think they we're alot bigger before I really got to know the ins and outs of ska in the uk but still.
