Fandangle are an American fronted 7 piece ska punk/core mob hailing from the southern county of Surrey.

Formed in 1999 they have been on the scene for many years now and have established themselves as a DIY outfit. Fandangle can not really be classified into one genre of ska because their are many different influences which are prevelent throughout their songs. Some people have described them as 'Less Than Jake with more of an edge' and others have said they are more 'like MxPx with brass and catchier melodies'.

Breaking into the london scene they scored numerous supports slots at high profile venues for bands such as Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Mustard Plug, Big D and the Kids Table, Capdown, The Selecter, The Pietasters, The Toasters, King Prawn, Spunge, Whitmore and many many many more.

Their debut EP (Dodging Tomatoes 1999) was recorded when they were at the age of 14 and landed them numerous support slots at The Underworld in London.

Three years later 'The Alcoholic' EP was released and this enabled the band to travel around the country and play shows to different crowds around the country.

The follow up was 'The Emperor Still Wears No Clothes' (2004), with tracks such as 'Destination Tragedy' earning airplay on Xfm's Unsigned radio show. their debut album on Party House Records. With 1,000 copies printed, they sold quite quickly.

Desperate to release more material they went back into the studio and released two more EP's in 2004, 'Full Steam Ahead', and the ' Private Show' EP. The Private Show EP has sold more than 5,000 copies since its release and has gained them the reputation for being a strong influece on the UK ska punk scene.

In 2005 in time for their tour with Reel Big Fish, they released 'Take One For The Team EP' on legendary ska label Moon Ska Europe. In the summer of 2005 Fandangle released a 3 track EP called 'Back To Basics'. With over 1000 copies of this EP was sold in the first week of its release. The new EP 'Blackout' is out now and is our latest release on Party House Records.
