Sko/Torp

Hard work, a special stamina, and particularly, respect for their audience are the secrets behind a long and successful life on the road, as it takes quite a bit to be one of the country's most touring bands over the past many years, and that's what Sko/Torp achieves with 80-90 concerts every year.

Many of us have been with them since the beginning in 1990, when Sko/Torp seemingly emerged out of nowhere with the album "On A Long Lonely Night," which set a record as the best-selling Danish debut album with sales of over 200,000 copies.
Sko/Torp was one of the absolute biggest Danish bands of the 1990s, partly because radios couldn't get enough of their sound. For Sko/Torp, it's all about the organic and well-crafted.

That's why the songs from their debut are timeless and still stand as strong today as they did back then. "Get Ready," "Loser’s Game," and especially the title track "On A Long Lonely Night" are etched into Danish music history, and Sko/Torp have never had trouble playing them or any of their many old hits because, as Søren Sko says, "We love the songs, they are part of our baggage, and the audience wants to hear them, so of course, we play them."

This respect for the audience's desires is very characteristic of Sko/Torp. They want to delight their many fans by playing the old songs, but it's equally important for them to show that they are constantly evolving by presenting something new – songs recorded alongside their extensive touring.

Søren Sko's sense of melody and sharp vocals, along with Palle Torp's knack for balanced arrangements, have taken them around the country's many venues on an ongoing tour.
"There are too few songs today where you can hear that it's living people playing. We want it to sound good and organic," says Søren Sko.
