+ | The Insyderz were a Christian ska-punk band from Detroit, Michigan. They formed in 1996 and disbanded in 2005. The band reformed in 2009, but have not been actively playing shows in the last few years. The Insyderz are one of the "big three" bands which represented the Christian ska scene, alongside [[The Supertones]] and [[Five Iron Frenzy]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Insyderz began from Joe Yerke and Nate Sjogren who led worship together at their church. Many members have associations with the Salvation Army, and throughout the life of the band support has been reciprocal, with the band playing at SA sponsored youth rallies. The band found their break at the 1996 Cornerstone Festival. They began playing on their campsite, and wound up garnering the attention of Michael Sean Black and [[Gene Eugene]], who signed them to his label [[Brainstorm Artists International]]. While that label folded soon after, the band's first album, //Motor City Ska// (1997), effectively established a presence in the Christian music marketplace and garnered the attention of [[Steve Taylor]]' | ||

+ | In 2003 they re-activated, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the first half of 2005, the band announced on their website that they would be playing their last three shows in August and September of that year, which led to confusion on whether they were the band's last three shows or the tour's last three. Later, in August of the same year, the site was updated to announce that the band would be breaking up after their final show on September 24, 2005, as a part of the I'll Fight Fest presented by The Salvation Army. The show was performed with [[The O.C. Supertones]] who were also in the midst of a final tour. | ||

+ | In August 2009, The Insyderz played a reunion show at the I'll Fight Festival, and have recently started a Facebook page which states that the band is back together, as well as playing several shows locally. In October/ | ||
