The Skids Official

Looking forward to a great night at The Carnegie Hall with the Skids acoustic show. Never played there properly so it’s another box ticked in this amazing journey.

We will be playing songs never aired live before such as Goodbye Civilian and many others which we will at last be able to play in our electric shows.

The acoustic gigs gives the lyrics a chance to breathe and me a chance to tell embarrassing stories I’ve kept locked away for many years - should be a great laugh!

Scared to Dance the debut lp from Scotland's Skids, will be re-released by Past Night From Glasgow in mid 2022. Estimated Ship Date is May/June 2022

In addition to featuring a remastered version of the original album a second LP of bonus tracks will be included making this the definitive vinyl version of Scotland's definitive punk album.

This record may have been recorded over 40 years ago but the songs resonate as much, if not more, today.

Featuring the glorious "Into The Valley" and "The Saints Are Coming" the album will be available in a number of different coloured vinyl variations.

We are happy to announce work has started on a new album of original material which we intend to have ready for release by the end of the year.

Collaborating with incredible artists like Youth, Hugh Cornwall and Martin Metcalfe - all fans of the band - we already have a wonderful collection of Skids songs.

Creativity born from friendship and respect lies at the heart of this new album which we think will be one of our finest recordings.

Hopefully we will release a teaser before Easter which will set the tone for where we are headed on another new adventure.

People change but the heart and the energy that drives the band remains stronger than ever before as we look forward to a new chapter in the bands ongoing history.

Holy to the High !
