Skaters is a fictional American pop punk band formed in 1996 when Zac Smith, Drake Fayes and Freddy Thomas (quit the band in 2001) all got together and decided to form a band when they were twelve. They went mainstream in the mid 2000s when they released the singles "All Night" and "Sick of School" in late 2003 which gained them international success as well. They have currently released six studio albums and are planning on releasing a seventh one in October 2009 (this year, of course) and are "expecting it to be a critical acclaim". We'll just wait and see.
