about

I was nervous of re-visiting the past, especially the music of the Skids.

What would the music sound like against a backdrop of a changed world?

What would the words feel like in these cynical times?

Of course the obvious question is why put your head above the parapet. Let sleeping dogs lie.

But the these questions wouldn’t go away, So, in the end, we tried playing the songs again.

And it was all there, evident in the songs: triumph, rage, camaraderie, and a positivity that has always been and will always be the motivation of the bands music and words.

The intimacy of the recordings re-introduce the songs with my voice at their heart with a genuine vulnerability and honesty. Im not the greatest of singers but those qualities are something to be proud of especially in an era where they might be regarded as being pointless. I don’t think so.
Richard Jobson
