The Skints are a London-based band known for blending reggae, dub, punk, ska and hip-hop into a distinctive, genre-crossing sound. Formed in the late 2000s in East London, the group quickly built a reputation for their energetic live shows and socially conscious lyrics, often reflecting themes of urban life, politics and identity.

Fronted by the soulful vocals of Marcia Richards alongside Joshua Waters-Rudge (Josh Waters Rudge), Jamie Kyriakides and Jonathan Doyle, The Skints have carved out a loyal following across the UK and internationally. Their chemistry as a band is rooted in their school-day beginnings, which has helped shape their tight-knit, authentic sound.
