The Skints are a British band from London known for their unique fusion of reggae, ska, punk, and hip-hop music. Since their formation in the late 2000s, the band has garnered a reputation for their energetic live performances and socially conscious lyrics that reflect urban life and the diverse musical landscape of their home city. Comprising vocalists and multi-instrumentalists Jamie Kyriakides, Joshua Waters Rudge, and Marcia Richards, along with bassist Jonathan Doyle, The Skints blend their diverse influences into a sound that is distinctly their own, often described as "tropical punk."

With a discography that demonstrates their musical versatility, The Skints have continued to push genre boundaries, earning a dedicated fan base both in the UK and internationally. Albums like "Swimming Lessons" showcase their ability to seamlessly move from hard-hitting punk anthems to soothing reggae grooves, while collaborations with other artists and remixes such as "Restless: The Riddim Punks Remixes" highlight their willingness to experiment and reinterpret their music through different lenses. Over the years, The Skints have become synonymous with a DIY ethic and a commitment to crafting music that reflects their experiences and resonates with a wider audience looking for authenticity and innovation within the modern reggae-punk scene.
