The Skints are a reggae/dub/ska/punk band from east London, UK. Formed in 2005 at Woodbridge High School, the band settled on their current line-up in May 2007. They gained recognition after touring with The King Blues and releasing their debut album in 2009. In December 2011, their cover of Katy B's "Katy on a Mission" received widespread attention. The Skints successfully crowdfunded their second album, "Part & Parcel," which was released in March 2012. They have toured with various bands including Gym Class Heroes and Reel Big Fish.

Swimming Lessons is the full-length follow-up to The Skints critically acclaimed and fan-adored last release, FM (2015). It features a thrilling mix of styles, as well as guest appearances by Grammy-nominated artist Protoje, Jesse Royal, and Runkus. The Skints, have clawed their way up from the depths of the underground punk / ska scene to become a unique fixture on the global reggae stage. Drawing influences as wide as soul, pop, grime, and hardcore, their original brand of “tropical punk” has seen them evolve in to one of the hardest working and most respected bands in UK music. Produced by The Skints in collaboration with Mike "Prince Fatty” Pelanconi, Ben Lamdin, Jack Longman and Pete Miles.
