Hard Skin
Hard Skin is an English punk group from Gipsy Hill, London who play in the early UK Oi! style. History. Hard Skin were a comedy oi band founded in 1996 and their first album "Hard Nuts and Hard Cunts" appeared that year. The band were: bassist "Fat Bob" (Sean Forbes of Wat Tyler), guitarist and lead vocalist "Johnny Takeaway" (Ben Corrigan of Thatcher On Acid) and drummer "Nosher" (Chris Acland of indie/Britpop band Lush). After Acland's death, he was replaced on drums by "Nipper" (Scott Stewart) for second album "Same Meat Different Gravy" in 2005, which  like its predecessor was received positively in punk and Oi! circles despite (or perhaps partly because of) the band's parodic tendencies. Third album proper "On The Balls" was released in 2013, alongside companion album "Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear" featuring alternate versions of its songs voiced by female vocalists, including Joanna Newsom, Manda Rin, Miki Berenyi, Beth Jeans Houghton, Debbie Smith, Alela Diane, Alison Mosshart, Beki Bondage, Marion Herbain, Roxanne Clifford, and Liela Moss. The album also featured an appearance by Gaye Advert.
