The Skints have clawed their way up from the depths of the underground punk/ska scene to become a unique fixture on the global reggae stage.
Swimming Lessons is the full-length follow-up to their critically acclaimed and fan-adored last release, FM (2015). It features a thrilling mix of styles, as well as guest appearances by Grammy-nominated artist Protoje, Jesse Royal, and Runkus.
Drawing on influences as sprawling as Bad Brains, Popcaan, No Doubt, Alton Ellis, Wiley and Weezer, Swimming Lessons deals with crushing heartbreak, the impending doom of Brexit, surviving as an independent musician and navigating the weird world of 2019 – all proverbial “swimming lessons” life throws at us.
