Voiceks Voiska were the first ones in Latvia to play ska music and still is the best known ska band in Rīga, Latvia. Formed under a name Voiceks as a solo project of lead singer Jourelis the band is around from year 1993.
In 1998 band began to experiment with ska music, adding horn section and soon changing its name to Voiceks Voiska. Band released their long awaited self-released first album "Konvojs" in year 2004.
Unlike many non-english ska bands Voiceks Voiska sings only in their native language - Latvian, and sometimes also in Russian. The band does not strictly stick to any subgenre of ska - while most of the music can be described as two-tone ska, the band also takes brief excursions into punk rock, russian rock music, latino music and other styles. The result, however, always is very upbeat, danceable and fun.
In August 2011 the band announced a hiatus.
