"This article is about the band. For the self-titled album, see Skambankt (album)."

Skambankt ("Beaten to a pulp" or "beaten up") is a Norwegian Hardcore band from Klepp, just south of Stavanger. They play a mixture of classic rock'n'roll, punk and hardrock in the tradition of bands like Motörhead, AC/DC, Sex Pistols, Ramones and The Stooges. All the lyrics are in Norwegian, and they convey the real spirit of punk: against the state, against the system, against corruption, capitalism, monitoring, religious fanaticism, and generally hate and treachery. To put it simply, against everything.

The band was founded in 1994 already. The line-up was Ted Winters at guitar and vocals, Don Fist at bass, and Hanz Panzer at drums. But at that time there was not more than a few live-gigs and some demo recordings. Ten years later, the original Skambankt line-up met at a stag-party where there was a stage with full backline. Some time after midnight, a decision was made that the band should be continued. This time, it was easy to get a record deal, and after Hans Panzer shifted to play the second guitar and handed his drumsticks over to Tom Skalle, the band was ready to record their first self-titled album "Skambankt", which came out in 2004. This album includes the video-hit "KKK" (Kristelig KulturKaos), featuring Prepple Homb on guest vocals.

Since then, Skambankt have played lots of concerts and festival shows, in Norway, Denmark and even Germany. The higlight up to now was probably their gig at Roskilde Festival 2005 where they played for 20.000 people.

In 2005, they released the EP "Skamania", which contains 6 new songs plus two videos. Also in 2005, Bones Wolsman joined the band, replacing Tom Skalle on drums.

In 2007, they released their second full-length album, "Eliksir". The first single from the album, "Tyster" was b-listed on Norwegian radio, and the album got decent reviews. A video was made for the track "Dynasti". It entered the Norwegian album charts on the 8th place.
