Fandangle is an underground ska-punk/skacore band from Surrey, UK. They were formed in 1999. They gained some mainstream attention when they toured the UK supporting American ska-punk band Reel Big Fish, and have since toured with many other bands including Capdown, Less than Jake, and Whitmore. They released two EPs, Dodging Tomatoes in 1999, followed by The Alcoholic (occasionally the name Ed is an Alcoholic is used for this EP). Their first full-length album was The Emperor Still Wears No Clothes, which was released in 2004. They then released two more EPs, before releasing one with the distinguished ska label Moon Ska Europe; which was released during their tour of the UK with Reel Big Fish. The band has now played over 500 gigs, and toured the UK five times.
