About Me

Comin' straight outta' Fenland! We're a 2-piece outfit with a fresh but definately not ground breaking view of music. These tracks are our tracks but they take influence from some of the greatest artists out there. If we had to list all of our influences, we'd spend a decade writing them, only to find that a decade more need to be penned. However, without these influences and the many legacies laid before us, it would be stupid to think we've made this music what it is without their inspiration. The obvious artists are listed on the left.
We are ages 19 & 20. Dan is more commonly known as the drummer for a metal band called the The Clarksons . Dean is more commonly known as the dude who spends all his time at the computer, nodding his head to hip-hop, wierd shit and punk tracks. Its this diversity that allows us to look to the creators of the music we love and pave our own way, with some tracks being damn cheeky, some being a bit funky and some being just plain get your kit off n jump.
As for the name, The King Skins, make of it what you will. We're sure most people out there will associate this with flavoured tobacco being smoked amongst friends in a non-prohibited area.
We always do our best to comment everyone back and do not worry, we never plaster your myspace with advertising bullsh*t about our new album, its just not funny.Cheers,
The King Skins
