The Skints - Live At Electric Brixton (Mr Bongo/Easy Star Records)
What does a band, that has literally built its reputation concert by concert thanks to an almost incessant touring schedule, do when suddenly being confronted with the limitations of a COVID-19 pandemic? For the London based Skints, the answer was clear: just release a rock-solid live album!

The Skints - Swimming Lessons (Easy Star Records/Mr Bongo)
With a wonderfully naive title like 'Swimming Lessons' it might seem as if The Skints wanted to surprise us with a breezy summer album, and the track list certainly leaves room for lighter subjects, but the British band wouldn't be themselves if their songs weren't full of razor-sharp social critique either.

The Skints - FM (Easy Star Records)
'FM', The Skints' new long player, turns out to be a concept album.

Alexander Star - Badd Habitz EP (Nicko Rebel Music) + Mat McHugh - More Money EP (Which! Boredom!) + The Skints - Short Change EP (Soulbeats Records/Penny Drop Recordings)
Three times a three track EP from three different continents, more we do not need to prove that reggae has become a global phenomenon.
