1) Two piece sister noise monster. Skamp started around the summer of 2010 in the heat of boredom and frustration of the lackluster music scene. Band members: Kaylee Lewis-vox, guitars, Jancee Lewis-drums, yells.
2) SKAMP are a perfect example of the quality music that is storming out of the new EU countries. Producer Viktoras Diawara aka Vee, singer / lyricist Erica Jennings & rapper Vilius Alesius (Willux) teamed up to bring us finely crafted, thoughtful lyrics and catchy melodies.
A delicious cocktail blending well together, Vilius grew up in Lithuania; Erica studied singing and dance in her hometown of Dublin and Vee was raised in Mali by artistic parents. Though most of their lyrics are in English, the trio have released tracks mixing in French, German, Lithuanian, Russian & Bambara.
SKAMP burst onto the Lithuanian music scene in May 1998 with a hip-hop cover version of George Gershwin''s "Summertime" mixing the summer classic with french and lithuanian rap. The song shot straight to the top of the charts proving that their blend of cultural and musical styles worked. Much success, many hits, late-nights, tours and fans followed. Since then, the group have gone on to release 6 albums, (they' ve sold over 80,000 units) and they’ve set up their own record company (Tabami Records). SKAMP are today one of the most respected live bands in the Baltics having won a long list of music awards along the way. They have also supported acts such as: The Black Eyed Peas, Macy Gray, Reamonn, Robert Plant, Wheatus, The Bomfunk MCs and many more.
Since 2003 Skamp have started working with several established producers from the UK & the US (Oliver Leiber & Dave Gamson, Jez Coad, Stuart Brown, Jon Kingsley Hall and George Stewart). Thanks to those collaborations SKAMP’S fifth studio album “Reach”, made in London & Wales, is a solid pop rock creation. The album has some great hit tracks like “Split the atom (Na Na Na)” and “Calling after me”.
Their album “Deadly” has been recorded in Mali & Lithuania fulfilling an old dream to mix African musical elements with the typical SKAMP sound.
Many people say SKAMP are to be the next “big thing” to emerge from the new EU countries.
At 2008, recording new album "Kažką[/album", due out end '08. May 30th had a WICKED b'day bash gig and released new tracks "Kill U Wit My Mic" and "Sportas".
SKAMP have been nominated twice (2006, 2007) for "Best Baltic Act" at the MTV European Music Awards.

SKAMP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll stand after all, the rest will fall,
I used to feel, such unease,
Didn't see how it was all in me...
Just to exist, isn’t a gift,
It’s so much easier to die than live
But I ain’t afraid n’ time won’t wait,
N’ if you’re not coming with me
Get up get up n’ do it
It’s up to you got to
Get up get up n’ do it
It’s up to you.
It ain't simple, It's tough enough
But in this life you’ve got to rise above,
Leave your fear behind
Don’t let it waste your time
I’ve only got this life but it’s mine.
Sustok, pamąstyk, apsidairyk,
Tave supa galimybės tu pamatyk,
Nebijok išnaudok, netylėk, nestovėk,
Ateik pažiūrėk ir pagaliau nugalėk.
Savo jėgą įdėk į priekį judėk,
Atgal nežiūrėk, visada pirmyn lėk,
Jei turi gerą mintį, ją įsimylėk
Prisimink visą laiką turi širdį įdėt.
Kas būtų ko nebūtų tavo galvoje,
Žinok kad ateitis slypi tavyje,
Ir bet kokia mintis yra kažko verta
Jeigu ne tu pats, tai kas už tave?
Jeigu tu sustosi, jei pasiduosi
Savo šansą kitam atiduosi,
Kam išsikalbėsi, kam pasiguosi,
Vienas stovėsi, negi sau meluosi?
