Band Members from various Oxford Bands ( Blood Roses, Bombshoe, Ionica, Marconis Voodoo, Suspicion of Affray/N3AR LIF3 EXP3RI3NC3 ) came togeather in late 2006 and formed a very Heavy Crushing Metal Band.
This appears to be all they are prepared to say about themselves online, but their minimalit description belies the fact that they are The metal operatic diva band supreme. Thankfully there’s no mention either of Snuffy’s one piece turquoise spandex outfit a modelled at the Wheaty last sat…..EEK!

Amongst the malaise of the British underground music scene there are a few rare and precious bands that exist beyond the frame of reference we have forced down our throat on a daily basis. Bands that exist outside of the time-line, outside of the pigeonholes, outside of the accepted logic, bands that won’t try and sell you hair gel or a mobile phone. These are bands that exist in spite of the zeitgeist, not because of it – and Kingskin are one such band.
Hailing from the port-town of Dover – the perfect location for a act with such a flagrant disregard for the follies of the mainland music scene – Kingskin have forged a sound steeped in an independent spirit that many thought dead along with the Alternative dream. The result is a frenetic combination of unrepentant Post-Grunge revelry and pummelling Funk energy that’s as utterly infectious as it is uniquely danceable.
It’s this winning combination that makes Kingskin such a startling live proposition. Having chalked up hundreds of shows in their short life span (including performances at Zoo8, Beachbreak Live and Lounge On The Farm) they’ve become a finely honed live unit with a reputation for loosening the hips of even the steeliest crowd: a fact that can be attested to by anyone who’s witnessed the frenzy of flailing limps, trashed guitars and occasional nakedness the makes up the average Kingskin gig.
Kingskin - Steve Albini produced their second album in early 2009.
Age of Misrule - http://www.myspace.com/ageofmisruleband
Sometime in 2008 Rob was sent on a quest from the dark lord himself to assemble a clan of mighty musicians (at the time he was beating his skin but realised that his real love was for strumming his instrument).
On his journey he came across King Richie and his mighty weapon, while discovering his own split personality of Donkey Bear (I would explain, but that would take too long and I’m tired of seeing that disgusted face). Back to the mission at hand. With his trusty sidekick Martin slapping his piece around they auditioned some random bird over the phone that turned out to be a filthy pixie chick called Sparky.
With Nigel completing this twisted little clan beating his skins hard and fast, Age of Misrule were conceived in the coldest bungalow in the middle of nowhere.
