Members:

Malta based quartet – Alex, Daniel, Fede and Christopher aka Skimmed, have quickly established themselves among the local scene as a band who is undeniably in-your-face and full of energy.

They have just launched their debut EP – “Your Head Is Too Big For your Crown” recorded by David Vella at Temple Studios. Their first single “Can’t Stop”, from the debut EP which can be heard on the band’s myspace, topped the local charts. Skimmed were also nominated for and even performed during both the Malta Music Awards and the Bay Music Awards.

Skimmed have a familiar yet different sound, echoing the Pixies and a broad range of influences from 80s/90s indie, grunge and punk. The development of their songwriting shows how this band has succeeded in growing and maturing despite numerous setbacks. Their music is all about conveying their knowledge, history, rebellion, anger and poetry through energetic tunes.

Their songwriting and lyrics sometimes take a narrative perspective. From capturing the frustration of the underappreciated worker and the contempt they hold towards their impertinent superiors (Shitty Jobs) to the recollection of the boredom and recklessness of teens living in a small town area (Bored Games). Other times, they are just strangely surreal (Napoleon).
