Off-Topic was a Ska band formed in Alkmaar, The Netherlands, around 2005. After finally getting a steady line-up together late 2007 / early 2008, they released a demo quickly after and played gigs whenever they could. Off-Topic played their final gig at a charity festival on 18 December 2011 together with fifty other bands. Shortly after, the band imploded, and the band members moved on.
At the moment of the split, the band consisted of :
keyboards - Erik Korthof
bass - skabuoy
drums - Midas Masius
guitar - Chris van Bokkem
tenor saxophone - Mike Loonstijn
