DIRTY, SWEET ROCK 'N' ROLL FROM THE WILD WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA

SkinInc. is a heavy rock band that blends radio-friendly hooks and melodies with crunching twin-guitar riffs. Fans are happy they are finally back after a 20-year break!

To celebrate their return, a Japan Limited Edition compilation titled “The First Era” is now available, providing the best songs from their “Love Me Tomorrow” and “Rose Coloured Glasses” releases.

Formed in the winter of 1999, SkinInc. quickly hit the Perth music scene with a bang! Their fourth gig was played from the middle of a speedway to 5,000 racing fans, and their biggest performance was at Australia’s Big Day Out festival in the year 2000 with 35,000 people – not bad for the band’s twelfth gig.

Hard rock fans loved their theatrical live show that entertained crowds with triple fire-spits over the crowd by lead guitarist Stevie D., shenanigans from jocular rhythm guitarist Corey Hodgetts, and the ’Drum Rod’: picture a drumming interlude on a kit setup with mag wheels, smoke billowing through silver exhaust pipes on both sides, topped with a crash helmet on their otherwise nude drummer Matt Franklin.

SkinInc. vocalist Paul Miles is also a rock'n'roll photographer and has shot artists like Michael Schenker [GER], Airbourne [AUS], The Strypes [IRE], and The 5.6.7.8's [JP] live in Tokyo, during his many visits to Japan – his favourite country. He hopes to bring SkinInc. on a tour of Japan in the future!

As a writer, Paul Miles has authored ten rock‘n’roll books and was asked to contribute to Mötley Crüe’s autobiography “The Dirt” that's sold more than a million copies – you’ll see that he gets “the biggest thanks of all” in the book’s Acknowledgements page.

Following the sad death of SkinInc.’s original bass player Geoff Lewis in 2016, long-time friend Shane Johnstone has joined them on bass.

SkinInc. is currently working on brand new songs that are sounding awesome and look forward to releasing these ASAP for fans to enjoy. Enjoy listening to “The First Era” and please follow their new journey. Arigato gozaimasu.
