THE SKINTS: ANTI-OPRESSIVE SKA ETHOS


A British Ska/Reggae/Roots band that is brought before your ears to your delight. Take a moment to appreciate the beautiful fusion of tones presented by The Skints.
Sending musical acute messages to the social and cultural behaviors that oppress and manipulate people’s mentality and attitudes, The Skints have surely cut through many speech barriers thus affirming their position in terms of personality. Their direct lyrics combined with the steady Roots beat with a few original spicy Ska riffs makes their sonority truly joyful.
Formed in 2005 in the British city of London, they have already put out a wide number of live performances in combination to some great Ska legends such as: The Aggrolites, Voodoo Glow Skulls or even Reel Big Fish to name a few. With experience in many great festivals in the genre, they can put up a really good live rock show.
Under the widely known label, Do The Dog (which also edits a Skazine, Link below), and later labeled Record Alliance (Sonic Boom Six’s own Recording), The Skints have released their fabulous first album called Live. Breathe. Build. Believe. It contains several fantastic songs such as Ya Know, Bright Girl and Murderer among many others. In April 2011 the band engaged on an online pledge for funds to be risen on the sake of their next album to be released later this year. The pledge was widely acclaimed with a huge accession which is clearly a good indicative for the upcoming work.
We will surely be expecting great stuff from this guys and I think that they are more than capable of achieving.
