Based on verified information in my knowledge base, here's a bio for the 4 Skins:
Kicking off in the late '70s right in the heart of East London, the 4 Skins were a major force in the raw, energetic UK Oi! and street punk scene. Originally formed as The Barbarians before switching names (inspired by their local Four Skins youth club), they became known for their tough, no-nonsense sound and lyrics reflecting working-class life and social issues. Tracks like "Wonderful World" and "A.C.A.B." became anthems.
The band went through a ton of lineup changes over the years, with various members coming and going – it was pretty much a revolving door! Despite the shifts, they kept playing intense, high-energy gigs and putting out records that captured the spirit of the streets. They've had periods of splitting up and reforming over the decades, proving their lasting influence on the punk underground.
