Formed in late 2011, SKATERS is a “regular old punk band with eclectic influences” comprised of three male musicians: singer Michael Ian Cummings, drummer Noah Rubin, and guitarist Joshua Hubbard. The group was created “on a whim” when Cummings and Hubbard met in Los Angeles and casually discussed the idea of forming a band. A few months later the boys reconvened in New York and SKATERS was born. I spoke with Cummings to find out more about the band and their presence in the New York City music scene.
