  • Kyle Sokol is an American bassist and skateboarder, known for his style of bass playing that mostly consists of fast technical bass lines. Kyle Sokol has played in bands such as Rude Squad, Noble Jones, Philistines, Basmistist, Stretch, Leadfoot, Cadaveric Mass, The Lazarus Machine, Strict-9, Must Not Kill, and even the controversial Tampa industrial metal band Hell on Earth. He also did a metal project with vocalist Bryan Cegon from James Murphy's band Disincarnate, Roadrunner Records from 2001-2003. Look for more work with Bryan Cegon and James Murphy in the near future. His playing is very jazz-oriented and he has provided a lot of new ideas for metal bass lines in the metal scene of Tampa, FL. He also contributed to the long running Rivot Rag Tampa Bay metal music magazine / publication with a bass guitar column entitled The Low End for several years. He is one of the few bass players in metal that uses extensively the slap & pop playing technique, along with two-handed tapping. He was chosen by Kelly Shaefer of the Band Atheist to play while Kelly was in Neurotica and about to tour on Ozzfest. The reunion of Atheist never came to fruition for a myriad of reasons at that time. Kyle Sokol currently tours the South East with several bands, to include a ska/punk band Rude Squad. He teaches lessons privately and works as a session player in the Tampa, Florida area. Kyle Sokol has worked with, played with, and or recorded with artists such as Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey, Chuck Rainey, Peter Frampton, Edgar Meyer, Stu Hamm, Howard Levy, Joseph Wooten, Future Man, Richard Bona, JD Blair, Anthony Jackson, 311, Matisyahu, Rancid, Pietasters, Dan Potthast (of MU330), Everclear, and Avail to name a few. He is a part-time staff member with Victor Wooten at his Wooten Bass/Nature Camp in Nashville, Tennessee. Kyle Sokol is also known for his sponsored and professional skateboarding career. He started skating in about 1983, and grew up skating with other local Florida pros such as Rodney Mullen, Mike McGill, Tony Simotes, Mike Daher, John A. Grigley, Monty Nolder, etc. In 2001, Kyle Sokol had an oldschool style pro model on Blitz Skateboards, which the company later changed the name to Subvert Skateboards due to legal issues with the prior name. Currently, Kyle Sokol skateboards for a punk rock skateboarding company based out of Ohio called Factory 13 Experimental Skateboards and also rides for Webb Trucks. Kyle Sokol is commonly known as Old School Kyle or OSK.
