Skint Little Knuckles

Before we start......this is an epitaph.....to SLK

About Me


This is the story of Skint Little Knuckles ( or SLK ) as we were also known. The band split up on the 9th December 2004 after about 3 years in existence. Why add a band that has split? Well two of us went on to form "The Conviction" but felt some of the music we made deserved to be heard by you guys.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/31/2005
Band Website: myspace.com/skintlittleknuckles
Band Members:
Ali Stalker - Guitar/Vocals
Was the main songwriter in the band and came up with most of the lyrics for the songs, rhythm guitarist and was also the reluctant frontman of the band.

Jim McDonald - Drums/Vocals
McDuff, excellent drummer and also a very good singer,came up with some great ideas for the songs,if he could have got away with it, the drumkit would be at the front of the stage.

Stalker - Bass Guitar
Was at one time labelled by several people as one of the best bass players in Scotland, the rest of the band and others would have agreed with this but that just wasn't Stalker's style.Doesn't say much, just let's his bass do the talking.

Brandon Walker - Lead Guitar
What could we say about "Casper" an absolutely unbelievable lead guitarist with just the right amount of arrogance to pull it off. Many have been left open jawed after watching Brandon go to town on his Les Paul,including the band.
Influences: Probably too many to cover between the whole band and besides it makes no odds now, remember this is an epitaph, just listen to the songs and enjoy.
Sounds Like: Others said: The Jam, UK Subs, The Ruts, SLF.....the list goes on, tell us what you think instead.
Record Label: WhoDuNNiT Records
Type of Label: Indie
