Hard Skin was founded in 1996 as a parody and their first album "hard nuts and hard cunts" appeared that year. The band were: bassist Sean Forbes (Wat Tyler), guitarist and lead vocalist Ben Corrigan (Thatcher On Acid and Schwartzeneggar) and drummer Chris Acland (Lush). After Acland's death, he was replaced on drums by "Nipper" (Scott Stewart) for second album Same Meat Different Gravy in 2005, which like its predecessor was received positively in street rock and Oi! circles despite (or perhaps partly because of) the band's parodic tendencies. Actually "We're the fucking business" is a collection of their five latest EP's and singles.

It's 12 instant anthems about council estates, sausages, the kids, cunts, the filth and Gipsy Hill. The sound is massive, the songs catchy and they'll stick in yer head for years. This is the first ever album to be released in both male and female form.
