Shark Punch – Hayward, CA

San Francisco East Bay Area’s Ska Punk band and dedicated Shark Attack first responders. Est. 2014

Coming straight outta the East Bay, CA punk scene, Shark Punch is an energetic, electrifying, brass driven 8 piece Ska Punk band. Though classified as a “SkaPunk” band the boys love to take blends of other genres/styles of music and reach farther than just your usual ska. Like tapping into harder punk genres, diving into surf themes and also throwing in a blend of rocksteady attitude

The band first got together in 2014 (Dustin, Miguel, Dylan and Sergio) as a group of guys who had a drive for making ska punk music and needed that creative outlet. Together they formed Shark Punch and quickly got to work on their sound. After spending a few months writing a few songs they realize that to be a skapunk band you need horns. Since not knowing personally any horn players they set out to CSU East Bay to put out flyers saying “Tromboners Wanted”. To their surprise two trombone players answered the call (Noah and Nick)

During December of 2015 they recorded their first independent album “Hope This Works” at Art of Ears studio with well-known recording engineer Andy “Andro” Ernst who also recorded Green Day, Rancid and other well-known recording artists.

Since their inception Shark Punch has played in many iconic Bay Area venues, festivals and colleges. Venues/Festivals including DNA Lounge, 924 Gilman, Downtown Hayward Street Fair, Mayfest 2018 and The Uptown.
