Hot For Skippy

Future sounds possible? Once upon a time, the members of Hot For Skippy firmly believed that some people are born to play music. From 2008 to 2013, this Westmont, IL-based collective—guitarists Victor Poelman and Jay Alvear, drummer Wayne Pombert II, and vocalist Stefan Stolarik—carved a unique space in the Midwest metal scene with their forward-thinking blend of technicality, melody, and progress

Before the big stages and streaming platforms, there was Wayne's basement. That's where the magic happened for Hot For Skippy's drummer Wayne and guitarist Jay! 🥁🎸
They spent countless hours down there, honing their craft, writing tunes like "Bear Goes Home Hungry Tonight," and making a ton of memories. It wasn't just practice; it was a space filled with creativity, laughter, and the pure joy of making music together. So much fun was had creating the music you all love!
Who else has fond memories of jamming with friends in a basement or garage?

Throwback Thursday! 🤘
Back in the day, Hot For Skippy was stoked to hit the road and play out-of-state shows. One that sticks out was Turley Fest 09 in Kokomo, IN!
We played at the Kokomo Event Center on Saturday, September 26th, 2009. It was an interesting experience sharing the stage with a wild mix of local bands we'd never heard before. It was cool to jam with the dudes from Ideamen! Their progressive sound definitely left an impression.
Looking back at this flyer brings back some memories! Anyone else remember any other unexpected genre mashups at local gigs?
Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing metal moms out there! 🤘 What better way to celebrate than by cranking up some Hot For Skippy? Our album "OCD" is available now on all streaming platforms! Share the riffs and rock out! ❤️
