Shedcore.com "The Skints are a lot of fun...And for a band which fuses punk and ska, that's exactly what you should be looking for."

Jay EDC	Jun 21 2008 6:48 AM Joshwa and other members of the beloved Skints I'm very sorry but I won't be able to make it tonight at Underworld :( Two hectic weeks of non-stop work, packing for a holiday and not being paid yet are not an ideal mix.
