Information

ORESKABAND was formed in 2003 when the six members were in middle school. They began getting gigs at clubs soon after and released their first album in 2005. They were signed to Sony Music in 2006. Their song "Hana no Ska Dance" was used for a Pocky commercial, and the band members themselves were featured in the advertisement.

They began recording their first major label mini-album while still in high school; it was finished in March 2006 and released in July. They later performed at the Fuji Rock Festival in 2006, to which over 1000 fans attended.

In March 2007 the band began playing in the United States, including spots in Texas and California.
