Love the fact the younger generations are still making quality music, mixing contemporary styles with Reggae vibes , absolutely love it . If the fact that Marcia is beautiful draws you in ,all good but her vocals are at least as good as her looks ,this band together are very ,very good .
Came to check these guys out for the first time as I heard they were touring with Less Than Jake in October, and wow, what a first impression! Love it, sounds so fresh, but also reminds me of The Specials, one of my favourite bands. Just awesome
I saw this band on the Sunday of Reading Festival 2012, I was just walking past and heard reggae and had to go into the tent! I met this girl skanking away in the crowd, just loving it, I went up to her and we started jamming together, we walked away from the gig sweaty and chatting about reggae we liked. I spent about 2 hours with her, then I never saw her again, but this is why I love festivals! No pressure, everyone's there for music and to have a good time and we're all better people for it.
I know with a bit of control you could be a little better, better yet a better friend to me (me say that) I know you could get your life in order, hear it knocking on your door with a Ratatat-tat.

The bass & drums in this are amazing. The rhythm section of a band can be totally make or break for how good they are - these guys are so good and probably go unnoticed half the time
the skints viewersnya sedikit padahal bandnya bagus, mungkin karena di UK dikit yg suka musik reggae ya. coba ke indonesia deh pasti banyak fans kalian punya.
Well i have to recognize that this music its not my style , but playing a list of reggaesta one time this song start to sound ,and i love it. Regards from Argentina.
Saw this band at California Roots 2015 in Monterey. I think it's was they're first American gig. Unforgettable performance, but man, Josh needed to shut the fuck up. Every 5 minutes "WE ARE THE FUCKING SKINTS!" Tone it down a notch my dude. Looking forward to seeing them again at California Roots 2016 though. Cali loves The Skints!
+Eddie Valencia Just saw them in Sacramento on 1/10/2016. I know what you mean haha, but ihad never heard of them. Makes me glad he made it clear who they were because I cant get enough of their music now.
+Mephalis2009 I wanted to see them when they came to the catalyst in Santa Cruz with Tribal Seeds but missed the show. Their music has its own feel to it, definitely different. I'm glad they came to the U.S for sure
I just saw you guys in SLC, and I am SO happy to have seen you. You sound SO F***ing good live! This is super awesome, but the energy that you put out on stage, and the moment was something very special to me. I’m a fan for as long as you keep doing it and beyond. Thank you!
Saw these when I went to see You me at six, I heard a few songs of there's before I went, but I didn't expect them to be as good as they were live! They impressed me so much that I'm going to see them again in October! I actually can't wait! :')
I think the video has potential and you look like you put in a lot of effort Im just criticising because i thought they would have had something a bit off the wall rather than keeping it simple. The band just being such a great mix of styles, i think the video with the monotone look just tones down the music. Look i didn't mean it in a bad way i just think if i would have had the opportunity i would have approached it differently. Nothing bad ment. One love.
this song is really polished for an unsigned band! you guys are shit hot! I read about your van, that sucks- total scum... come play Belfast when you have gear again pretty please :) I'll put on a reggae night and yous can headline lol
I'm going to kick in some heads if they get bottled or booed when supporting YMAS. Each to their own, but this is fucking class here. It doesn't hurt to try something new, kids.
saw them about a year ago at real big fish and then cap down, didn't even know they were on scuzz, might start watching it again if that is the case :P
I saw The Skints when they supported Reel Big Fish in 2011; and they are the best support I've seen to date, and og my god, am I hyped to see them again but at Boardmasters festival!
She is yeah, but is that the only thing of value you've taken from the vidya? Never mind the fact that shes a banging MC and got a cracking voice... or that the whole band are fucking mint...
I know with a bit of control you could be a little better, better yet a better friend to me, me say that
I know you could get your life in order, hear it knocking on your door with a Ratatat-tat
I know with a bit of control you could be a little better, better yet a better friend to me, me say that

Cause I mark it as a must have, ride it like a mustang, ignore it like your phone rang
Say it like I have saying took away my life man, took away my life line, couldn't be my only
When you see me you treat me like a piece of meat, like a DVD cause I'm a VCR, see
And I will be ghastly cause i lost my last me, ran around for your sake so I'm gonna get nasty
I know that you are no good for me
One more time and then you'll set me free
I know that you are no good for me
One more time and then you'll set me free
I'm rocking back and forth of course I'll blame it on myself
I been going stir crazy from haze
And awake for two days
Better than to be sleeping in hell
Falling apart like a fragment, climbing back into my shell
And it's bait that's she's making me change
Love became hate and rage
I'm locked up, but I ain't in a cell
Ain't cocked up but I'm blaming myself
Long stuff feeling pain from a girl
Monged out and away from the world for a minute
Friends say it's the way of the world that I live in
And I don't wanna give it
But honestly I'm finished
And the quality's diminished and I'm feeling kinda sick-ish
Hook, line and sinker like fishes
Never took time and did my three wishes
Make a hook line and keep myself singing
Could say that I've scored and ain't winning
But mate that's women, innit
I know that you are no good for me
One more time and then you'll set me free
I know that you are no good for me
One more time and then you'll set me free
Got a little bit of 8-bit raggabit
My reggae vibe alive, having all of it
Visit all eternity it stops while I play
When I'm physically yearning for the bass while i'm holding it
Got a little bit of Grime, no crime
Cosmically fly, well you're gonna be mine
Frank West better make it cause he's running up high
Me ah dead the undead, one rhyme at a time!
One more time, so divine, one of mine, bickering ain't gonna make you get in line this time
Me second maybe lady will evolve? I'm trying!
But you're keeping me right here with your protective stylin
Can you hear the bell ah ring?
I hear the bell ah chime, man ah say me ah the one
But I know you tell a lie you know you made me wanna die?
I had a cry, no style, read the signs me haffi say goodbye
I know that you are no good for me
One more time and then you'll set me free
I know that you are no good for me
One more time and then you'll set me free
You get down-down-down-down-down-down
My soul ah weak and you've been messing around-ound-ound
But this sound, rocking around the system
My likkle soul, me dancing around
Now hold up!
Down-down-down-down-down-down
My soul ah weak and you've been messing around-ound-ound
But this sound, rocking around the system
My likkle soul, me dancing around
Now hold up!
Now hold up!
Now hold up!
Now hold up!
Now hold up
Just saw them live!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! They blew my mind!
Luckyyyyyyy!
i was looking for a pokemon and come across this song, and i must say im going to click a few more thier tunes. Why haven't i herd them before>_

New 2tone era. Perfect.
Apparently we're on the 5th wave of Ska now, it's all good stuff tho, love it
Dean Shore no, still in the third wave
This deserves more views just because of how good it is.
2 million views later... did it get there?
I still say it deserves more views. Absolute banger!

J'adore. Quand je prends l'autoroute. Drive m'y car notre sloly. Speedy to go work
Colonialism may have had positive effects after-all. (Lord I apologize...)

Saw them for the very first time opening for tribal seeds in sac. Blown away
Saw them at Leeds fest, had never heard them before, can't get enough now!
Anyone here 2021
Who else saw these guys play on the deck of a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean???
I've been trying to memorise the verse at 1:06 and I just stop in awe most of the time, how the fuck can he speak that fast!

Orient yes lads
No hay una canción de estos tipos que me haya disgustado, la verdad que está muy bueno lo que haceeen!!! THE SKINTS!!!!
saw them about a year ago at real big fish and then cap down, didn't even know they were on scuzz, might start watching it again if that is the case :P
you guys rock!! just missed you guys at the tribal seeds show in Santa Cruz!! sheet! next time!
+Daniel Voskoboynikov I saw them last night man they put on a better show than the tribal seeds in my opinion!
Check out Mouthwash and Sonic Boom Six for some other good British ska/punk bands, the whole scene really is starting to ignite over here again!x
i have rotten toothache, and an awesome sound system, the bass made my toothache worse, I kept listening because it was worth it. True story,
@leytpapas1 People like to troll. I love these guys. Their vibe is just wicked. Also, their acoustic Christmas special video is fantastic
@skinnyed73 *large speakers
You won't get the full mix of the song on small speakers because they tend to cut out a lot of the mid/bass.
Should be Main Stage at Leeds still coming to see you guys though :) unless you clash with You Me At Six.
I saw The Skints when they supported Reel Big Fish in 2011; and they are the best support I've seen to date, and og my god, am I hyped to see them again but at Boardmasters festival!
It's an Ibanez BTB 300. Unfortunately it was stolen along with everything else in the van 3 months ago. Sad face.
born to be slaves the own time
we serve is only greater for our master
Cool tunes , but someone tell the singer not to leave her rubbish on the 15:30 Waterloo to Guildford train ;)
I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! Sup Ginge! =) hit me up on facebook/twitter - @sneakypetey ! Would be great to catch up!

So much love for the Skints it's ridiculous.
