In “The Office,” Kevin’s band Scrantonicity mostly plays the music of The Police. The fictional group is specifically portrayed as a Police tribute or cover band, with Kevin Malone singing and playing drums.
Scrantonicity first appears through the show’s wedding-band storyline. In “Casino Night,” Jim and Pam watch audition tapes and discover Kevin’s band among the potential performers. The joke works because Kevin’s low, expressionless speaking voice contrasts with the high, distinctive vocal style associated with Police frontman Sting.
The band’s name is itself a pun on Scranton, Pennsylvania, and “Synchronicity,” The Police’s 1983 studio album. The show later features Police songs such as “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” and “Roxanne.” Kevin eventually forms a successor group called Scrantonicity II, continuing the joke about his devotion to the same repertoire.
A small wrinkle is that Scrantonicity also performs “You Were Meant for Me,” a Jewel song, at Phyllis’s wedding. That is why “mostly” is the right wording: The Police is the band’s defining musical identity, even though its on-screen set is not absolutely limited to that group.
