NEW SKINN

"Guitar squeels like out-of-control taxi's, Drum's tumble and roll like molten lava from a rampant volcano and, finally, sitting a top this vicious coalescence are powerful vocals that announce: 'In this silence that i can hear again'. Welcome to your New Skinn!" (Beat Magazine)

NEW SKINN was formed in 2005 but no one knew what was to come until the final member of this impressive act completed the line up in 2008. With powerful riffs, shredding leads, Phil G's soaring signature vocals, Xman's intense and untamed beats and GreekMan's cutting edge bass sound, NEW SKINN has brought together a wide range of their influences and developed their own unique sound, that is NEW SKINN.

In 2006, NEW SKINN released their debut EP "Cause & Effect". A heavy 2 year show schedule after the EP release made them one of the most exiting acts in Melbourne. 2009, NEW SKINN released their single "Clearview" and selling out shows after that became more regular than not. NEW SKINN released their debut album in June 2010 at a packed HI-FI Bar Melbourne, with a national tour which followed.
