Skids came to the fore as one of the first Scottish punk bands to release on an independent label when their Charles E.P. became a first favourite of John Peel on BBC Radio 1. The group’s singer Richard Jobson (along with guitarist Stuart Adamson) created an original and energetic sound that captured the imagination of the public, resulting in several hit singles and appearances on Top of the Pops.
Skids’ debut album, Scared To Dance, was a stunning and successful debut. It was recently reissued on vinyl by Last Night From Glasgow to much acclaim, more information at this link: https://shop.lastnightfromglasgow.com/products/the-skids-scared-to-dance-2-x-lp-coming-soon
