Our Take
Our Take
Ah, the 4 SKINS. A band name that immediately conjures up images of, well, skinheads. And with their latest release, "Riot In The Ghetto: Unreleased Radio & Studio Sessions," they certainly don't disappoint in bringing that raw, no-nonsense energy.
From the moment the first track blasts through your speakers, you're transported back to the gritty streets of 1980s London. The aggressive guitar riffs, driving bass lines, and pounding drums all come together to create a sense of controlled chaos, much like a proper riot.
But what sets the 4 SKINS apart from their peers is their undeniable sense of melody. Even in the midst of all the aggression and mayhem, there are moments of pure musical brilliance that will have you humming along for days.
The unreleased radio and studio sessions included on this album give fans a rare glimpse into the band's creative process, showcasing their evolution from rough-and-tumble punks to polished professionals.
So, whether you're a die-hard skinhead or just a casual fan of punk rock, "Riot In The Ghetto" is an album that demands to be heard. Just be sure to crank up the volume and brace yourself for a wild ride.

About the artist
4 Skins
4 SKINS are the rambunctious, hard-hitting rockers hailing from London, making waves in the music scene with their unique blend of punk, Oi, and street rock. Known for their raucous live performances and raw, powerful lyrics, 4 SKINS have been a staple in the UK punk scene since the late 1970s. Fronted by the charismatic and larger-than-life vocalist, Gary Hodges, 4 SKINS have built a dedicated following of loyal fans who are drawn to their infectious energy and rebellious spirit. With their catchy hooks, anthemic choruses, and no-nonsense attitude, 4 SKINS are a force to be reckoned with on stage and in the studio. Their debut album, "The Good, The Bad & The 4 SKINS," released in 1982, is a classic in the punk genre, showcasing the band's gritty sound and fierce attitude. Tracks like "Chaos" and "Yesterday's Heroes" have become punk anthems, solidifying 4 SKINS' place in music history. Despite their rough-and-tumble image, 4 SKINS have also shown a more introspective side with songs like "Forgotten Hero" and "Plastic Gangsters," where they explore themes of loss, betrayal, and disillusionment. This depth and vulnerability set them apart from other punk bands of their era, making them a truly multifaceted and dynamic group. With a legacy that spans over four decades, 4 SKINS continue to inspire and influence generations of punk rockers with their unapologetic attitude and electrifying performances. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to their music, one thing is for certain: 4 SKINS are a band that demands to be heard.
