Scottish punk band, Skids, formed in Dunfermline during the summer of 1977. Comprising Richard Jobson (vocals), Stuart Adamson (guitar), William Simpson (bass), and Tom Kellichan (drums), they burst onto the British music scene with their self-financed Charles EP. Quickly signed to Virgin Records, their anthemic sound captivated audiences. However, internal conflicts led to Adamson's departure in 1981. Despite a brief decline, the band rebounded with a new lineup and achieved commercial success with The Absolute Game album in 1980. Unfortunately, creative differences and a lackluster concept album ultimately led to their dissolution.

In 2017, Skids made a comeback by reuniting and recording new music. They released live albums as well as an acoustic album while extensively touring the UK.

Experience the influential sounds of Skids as they continue to make their mark on the punk rock genre.

Legendary punk band Skids are back with their first ever acoustic album. Following the success of 2018’s album Burning Cities, which was the band’s first new material since 1981, and fired up by the fan response to songs both new and old on the band’s 40th Anniversary Tour, the band has been inspired to reinterpret songs from their catalogue in this new way.

The songs are all of the different phases of the band, from every album. And it was all there, evident in the songs: triumph, rage, camaraderie, and a positivity that has always been and will always be the motivation of the band’s music and words. The intimacy of the recordings re-introduce the songs with Richard Jobson's voice at their heart with a genuine vulnerability and honesty.
