   About Made Of Skin
Made Of Skin is a band of three individuals who find a distinctive sound combining backgrounds ranging from punk rock to industrial, classic rock and folk. Already established musicians in Eugene, Oregon, the guys came together in 2006 and have since defied genres and created a sound that fans describe as “comfort music” in its raw relatability.

We’re all made of skin. Understanding that one is vulnerable because of his human composition can open a person up to a whole range of emotions. These emotions are where great songs come into existence. In a collaborative effort, Made of Skin writes songs as they happen, in the moment. This visceral writing style gives songs an honesty that is hard to come by.

Justin used to play guitar and sing in Outspent.
Zach used to play bass and sing in Like Breathing.
Rik used to play drums in The Amazing Flaming Panties! and Dismantled.
