Skint Skint demo cassette
SKINT is like a breath of fresh air in the midst of a nuclear eruption. Back-to-basics hardcore punk just how I like it: ugly, tough, and menacing. Four songs and a couple of samples, this demo hits hard with few frills and all thrills. The riffs are unbothered by complication or harmony, going straight for the carotid and dousing the room in arterial spray. The focused, tight drumming often blasts full bore, and changes beats or tempos at all the right moments. There’s a touch of UK82 in the rabid vocal delivery, with concise yet compelling lyrics. No ambiguity here, SKINT is out for blood. This is a killer first showing. The tape is limited to a hundred copies…grab one while you can.
