Background notes
Archive material and source history
Skinflint formed in Bristol in 1987 with Chris Potter on vocals and guitar, Wayne Maskell on bass, and Tony Kemp on drums. Their sound pulled from post-punk, gothic, and industrial elements, which gave them a distinct place in that era's music.
Their 1987 album 'Abiku' is what most people remember them for. The title track, along with songs like 'Army Of The Dead' and 'Burning The Soul With Diesel,' carried a heavy, atmospheric quality. The lyrics often touched on darker themes, which sometimes drew criticism.
They kept recording through the early '90s with albums like 'Matamoros' and 'Divided We Stand,' but never broke through to major commercial success. The band maintained a core audience and kept playing live into the 2000s.
