Skint Records is a Brighton based dance music record label owned by JC Reid, Tim Jeffery and Damian Harris, who also releases records through the Midfield General pseudonym.
Skint are the holders of the longest ever Football League sponsorship deal, as their current contract with Brighton and Hove Albion F.C. will see them having been present as the main kit sponsor for seven years.
Their name, however, does not appear consistently across all the Brighton and Hove shirts, with some variation in logo, and even the complete replacement of the company's name with Palookaville on one of the shirt designs.
Skint is a complex play that brought up many challenges for me as director.
Skint uses as a starting point the origins of myths regarding The Waste Land and the Fisher King.
Legend has it that the Fisher King is ill and decrepit, causing a blight on the land; various heroic figures try to intervene and heal him to remedy the land, as in the King Arthur myth.
Rough Edge: Skint CD Reviews(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Skint, another Warped Tour 2005 find, is a heavy punk outfit that does for punk what System Of A Down does for metal.
Politics play a big role in Skint's music but, unlike other politically charged bands, the ranting did not bring this project down.
Obviously, I may not agree with everything Skint says on "Dead End to Glory" but I like the way they throw it all out there for their listeners to analyze, evaluate and consider.
Formed by members of some of the most popular rock bands in the area, Skint have been playing together for the last three years, and have established themselves as one of the most exciting and talented bands on the circuit.
Skint skin basher Paul Drayton has recently traded in his trusty Pearl BLX kit for the latest mouth watering offering from DW.
Described as "the most beautiful drum set ever" this DW Collectors Series kit is currently the only one of its type available in the world to date.

The bar was standing room-only by the time I arrived and the inhabitants of it looked as though they were in an 80s teen movie, but just a little older and uglier.
The guys closest to the stage when Skint played their unglossed punk were mostly wearing Skint T-shirts and, I can only assume, drove down from Ogden to support their friends onstage.
Skint is the second Ogden band I have come across that does not play metal.
The End’s ‘As One’ night will showcase the Skint 10th Anniversary party this coming weekend (September 3rd).
Celebrating the ace Brighton based label set up by Damian Harris in 1995 the night will include artists from the Skint family, including FC Kahuna, Phil Kieran and Midfield General, aka label founder Damian Harris, who will be getting together to bring back the memories and pave the way for the future.
On The night the main room will host FC Kahuna and Phil Kieran, whilst in the lounge Damian Harris will be joined by Cut La Roc and Lo-fi All Stars, for a; a full on mash up of breaks, beats, hip hop and debauched electronic classics.
Unfortunately we have decided as a group to put Skint on pause to pursue our own individual needs for the moment.
Backed up by the band Skint (that would be Paul, Justin, Wallace and Cappy) he kicked out a hard core set of his best work.
Though the tunes are a bit complex she was able to hammer them down in about the same amount of time it takes Cappy and Alex to drive from Boston to Worcester.
Skint was formed in 2003 by Bryan Thompson(vocals),Henry Hufnagle(Bass), Steve Lovingood(Rythm), Thomas Wise(Lead), & Bill Buckman(Drums) given Henry and Bills collaborations in INSURRECTION, & CRIMES AGAINST NATURE.
As of feb 2006 SKINT has done 83 shows in a year and a half!!!
Peace, and love, thank you for all yor support.We couldn' do this without you guys last night "fuckin a" is all I can say.
Known for their innovative music videos, Skint records are holding an evening of their best (and worst) videos with a light hearted commentary and Q and A session with Skint founder Damien Harris.
From Fatboy Slim’s award winning, Spike Jonze directed Praise You and the Christopher Walken dance fest, Weapon Of Choice, to the videos so bad they never got shown, this is a fascinating insight into the the world of contemporary music promo videos.
Some will be familiar, some only got shown the once, if that, some cost a fortune, some cost sod all, but sometimes they're the most interesting.
This is the first release from FC Kahuna since they recently signed up to Skint records.
The track has already enjoyed major backing from major radio DJ's such as Jo Whiley, The vocals are performed by Hafdis Huld, the track has a very down-tempo melodic sound and a sexy trance feel about it much like some tracks by French band Air.
FC Kahuna release Hayling on March 10th on Skint Records with remixes from Super Furry Animals, Ils and Chicken Lips.
