Squid Squad
- For the mode where players can form a squad of friends, see Squad Battle.
The Squid Squad is a band of squids in Splatoon. They’re one of Inkopolis’ 'hottest acts', and their tracks can be heard as background music during many of the Inkling Turf Wars. Sadly, their shows sell out instantly and they’re always being mobbed by fans, so they don’t make public appearances very often.
Members
Syn.
The keyboardist is the group’s only girl. The melodies she weaves reveal a foundation in deep-sea squid funk that’s truly on another level.
Her alias appears to be an abbreviation of synthesizer, referring to her role as the keyboardist.
Vo. & Gt.
This guy handles lead vocals and guitar in the Squid Squad, and he writes most of the music and lyrics, too. Welll, he never actually learned to read music, but he’s got a gift for rippin’ phat guitar riffs, and most importantly he’s got that rockstar charm to inspire the other members to greatness.
His alias contains abbreviations of vocals and guitar, respectively.
Ba.
The bass player is the group’s oldest member. He’s one cool customer who doesn’t show much emotion, but make no mistake, he’s the backbone of this band. He’s always the first one at soundcheck, and the last one to leave the stage at the end of the encore.
His alias is an abbreviation of bass.
Dr.
The drummer’s a bit rough around the edges. They call him wild child for a reason. This youngster’s sense of rhythm is uncanny, and when it matters most, his sticks are always there to lead the way with a wicked beat barrage. He really gives his all on stage—if you look closely you might catch him weeping during a drum solo.
His alias is likely an abbreviation of drums.
Songs
Squid Squad's popular songs include "Splattack!" and "Ink or Sink", which are heard during battles.
