About Skyraker
Skyraker is the psychedelic rock trio comprised of guitarist / vocalist Jason Baker, bassist/vocalist Ben Carey, and drummer Bryan Fairfield. The band’s debut album Stars and Screams was released on Sept 30, 2023 via all major streaming and digital platforms, and as a limited edition 12″ vinyl LP.
Skyraker’s sound incorporates elements of stoner rock, heavy-psych, punk and space rock in a carefully considered musical package. The band bridges often devastatingly heavy riffs with othertimes atmospheric, haunting melodic structure and a willingness to explore a large expanse of emotional space both lyrically and musically. Stars and Screams was recorded over a nearly 2-year period from 2021-2023 at the historic Bingen Theater / Sasquatch recording studio in Washington state.
All three members of Skyraker are seasoned veterans of the NW rock scene. Jason Baker and Ben Carey founded and performed in the Portland, OR based alt-prog rock band Oxcart in 2004, recording 3 studio albums and inadvertently spawning the acclaimed Pink Floyd tribute band that later become known as Pigs on the Wing. Bryan Fairfield has widely toured the US with the Portland based rock bands Kieskagato and System and Station, and is currently the drummer for Pigs on the Wing.
