Skimmer @ The Portland Arms Cambridge 04.07.09
Skimmer (photo above from lord only knows when, I shamelessly nicked it from their myspace) are without a doubt in my top ten UK punk bands of all time. They’ve been going since the dawn of time, effortlessly pumping out pop-punk hit after hit so it was an honour and very much a pleasure to play with them in Cambridge last year. I found this recording along with the Helen Chambers one recently and Kev was kind enough to allow me to put it up here so enjoy! The band have a brand new album out so visit their myspace and order away, I believe you can also order it via itunes but get in touch with them instead I reckon to pass over some well earned cash to them. Honestly they are one of the most underrated bands we have here in the UK, if you’re into proper pop-punk ala The Ramones, early Green Day (i.e. squeeky but intelligent well polished awesomeness) then download this now.
