    SKOOKUM - RISE ABOVE IT ALL – Press Release
    On March 20, 2020, Skookum was ready to play a show at the Roxy nightclub in Vancouver Canada to kick off one last gig before taking 15 new songs into the studio the very next month. But then the world shut down….What came next was months of uncertainty and the band wasn’t sure when or if they could go in and record what they now present as “Rise Above it All”.

    This collection of 10 songs mostly written well before 2020, but in a strange twist of fate, captures the times we live now. A musical journey perfectly encompassing the strange, challenging, and often bleak period of history we are currently experiencing, but always with an underlying current of hope.

    Our most mature and emotional album to date, but always with the patented Skookum tongue in cheek humour our fans have come to expect .

lyrics

Never Giving Up
It’s been so easy, just so damn easy
To pull the shades down and hide
Can’t find the spark, can’t make your mark
No matter how hard you’ve tried
No hanging on, to things you don’t need
No sense in blaming the past
Can’t be denied, you gotta try
Next time you won’t come last

Cuz I’m never giving up | I’m never going down
Fought enough of darkness | To feel the sun around
I’m never giving up | Never gonna stop
Rising to the challenge | Rising to the top

Might lose direction, along your journey.
The past keeps pulling you down.
Can’t snuff the flame, despite the pain
you go another full round
Ruthless indifference, keeps you tested
That doubting voice in your head
The courage grows, from strength you know
Your story’s meant to be read

(Chorus)

You put the work in, you sacrificed
Your heart and soul were your guide
You don’t give up, when things are rough
Cause time is not on our side…

Skookum Vancouver, British Columbia

‘Skookum’ is slang for “Big n’ tough”, impressive 'n' cool; but its origin is a Pacific Northwest term for Sasquatch, or fearsome and swift. With powerful riffs, big grooves & a walloping vocal punch they sound Skookum: A scrappy groovin’ band from Vancouver, not afraid to slow down once in a while. Making great music is serious business for this group who claim creativity & laughs as their mantra ... more
