Introducing France-Based Punk Band Skip The Use

With a lead singer called Mat Bastard, France-based punk band Skip The Use is causing a commotion around the country. After making the festival rounds and putting out a couple of records, they released their second album 'Can Be Late' earlier this year. These guys look and sound like trouble... :) Let us know what you think. - Lou C-D

Comment by Tyrone Williams on July 3, 2012 at 9:17pm: not the type of music to but i dont enjoy this band

Comment by Lars Maximus))) on July 3, 2012 at 3:51am: I give my support to zee Afro-French, but the summation is misleading. I don't really hear the trouble of which it speaks. Very driveable and danceable pop-rock though. I can see them supporting on Warped or Lollapalooza with Fishbone or such.
