I was searching for a theme today, and I came across this group from the UK. They fit into the theme, but more importantly they are a talented group. Their tightly written lyrics are some of the best I've heard in a while.
Skint & Demoralised are a UK lyric-based alternative indie/pop act, fronted by 22-year-old Matt Abbott from Wakefield, West Yorkshire and produced by MiNI dOG from Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
The band is made up of:
Matt Abbott (lyrics/vocals)
MiNI dOG (songwriting/production)
Sam Greenwood (rhythm guitar)
Matt Slee (bass guitar)
Luke Arabskyj (lead guitar)
Paul Wilson (drums)
Keep an ear open for them, they could well be comers in 2012.
