Hard Skin is a punk rock band formed in 1996. Known for their humorous and satirical lyrics, they have gained a cult following within the punk scene. With their catchy tunes and energetic live performances, Hard Skin has become a staple of the UK punk scene. Their music often tackles social and political issues with wit and sarcasm, making them both entertaining and thought-provoking. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their sound, Hard Skin's music is sure to leave an impression.

Originating from London, England, Hard Skin was founded by two friends who shared a love for punk rock. Drawing inspiration from bands like Cock Sparrer and Sham 69, they developed their own unique sound that blends elements of Oi! and street punk. Over the years, they have released several albums that have received critical acclaim from both fans and music critics alike.

Despite being known for their tongue-in-cheek approach to songwriting, Hard Skin's lyrics often touch on serious topics such as class struggle, inequality, and working-class pride. Their ability to combine humor with important social commentary sets them apart from other punk bands of their time.

JT Classics is a UK Punk/Oi label founded by Johnny Takeaway and Hard Skin. With a passion for music and a desire to support their family, they came up with the idea of starting their own label over pints and pork scratchings. 

Johnny Takeaway's fruit and veg stall was in dire straits, leaving his kids hungry and his wife frustrated. Determined to turn things around, he teamed up with Hard Skin to create JT Classics.

Specializing in Punk/Oi music, JT Classics is dedicated to showcasing talented artists from the genre. Their goal is to provide fans with high-quality music while supporting independent musicians.

We're the Fucking Business - Singles 1975 - 1977 is the latest collection of singles and other fucking classics from the one and only Hard Skin. It features the six amazing Oi anthems for the kids on the street from the Do You Like Hospital Food 12". The kids who fight for the working class. The kids who live for the weekend. The kids who've had their car nicked. The kids who wanna have a say but have nothing to say. In 2015 it's crucial these songs are heard - they will change the way you think and drink. There are songs about Beer, Cars, The Old Bill and being proud of what you are!! If you love Sham 69 when they were good in 1978 - then this is for you. Also included are the two cuts from the long sold out Tour 7" Saturday Night, A cover of ​Pertti Kurikan Nimipaivat from the equally sold out Tour Split 7", the B-Sides to the 1234 Go 7" version of We are the Wankers, two live tracks from the Owl Sanctuary in Norwich and two new cuts recorded in July 2015 for another fucking 7" that is amazing. Know what i mean??

CD - 15 Tracks Total and as Cheap as a Bargain Bucket.
