The Skids, formed in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1977, remain one of the defining voices of British post-punk. Known for their anthemic blend of jagged guitars, martial rhythms, and politically charged lyrics, they broke through with hits like Into the Valley and The Saints Are Coming. Fronted by Richard Jobson’s commanding vocals and the late Stuart Adamson’s (Big Country) innovative guitar work, the band earned both critical acclaim and a devoted following. Despite lineup changes over the decades, The Skids continue to play with the same passion and energy that first set them apart—and impressively, they are still touring today.
