Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Onstage company

Documented collaborators

Rooted in Gipsy Hill, London, Hard Skin has carved a distinctive niche in the street-punk and Oi! scene. Over the years, the core lineup—Fat Bob (Sean Forbes), Johnny Takeaway (Ben Corrigan), and Nipper (Scott Stewart)—has built a reputation for raw energy, sharp wit, and anthemic hooks. From their early tragedy with Nosher (Chris Acland) to decades of raucous releases, Hard Skin remains a trusted name for fans who want straightforward, no-fuss punk that still lands with impact.

Documented collaborators

Discography highlights include the cult classic Debut album Hard Nuts and Hard Cunts (1996) on Helen of Oi!, followed by 2005’s Same Meat Different Gravy (Household Name Records), and late-era releases like On the Balls and Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear (JT Classics) in 2013. In 2020, the EP South East Enders broadened their catalog, alongside the 2014 Do You Like Hospital Food EP. A 2024 single, You Won’t Get Better Than This, continued to draw attention to their catalog ahead of a major 2025 farewell run. For fans, Bandcamp remains a central hub for new drops and full catalog access, with Damaged Goods handling distribution.

Upcoming tour activity centers on a December 2025 run through the UK, including The Lexington in London, Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, and The Hope & Ruin in Brighton. If you’re in these cities, this is a moment to see a modern punk institution live. We’ll keep you posted with any schedule updates and ticket availability as the dates approach.
