The Skinnyz play straight up, seventies power-pop rock and roll,
taking an up all night, foot stomping,ever living, never stopping,
booze feuled approach to making music.
Songwriter Mike Slavin (guitar, vocals, synth), Jimmy Russell
(guitar, synth), Scott Dewitt (bass) and Dan Canty(drums), met in
the music program at the university of Oregon in 2004 and started
the Skinnyz in 2007. In January of 2008, The Skinnyz recorded
and self-released their debut album, UP!, a strident rock and roll
record with classic rock and blues influences bleeding all over the
recording. UP! exemplifies The Skinnyz ability to return to rock’s
roots and to graft themselves in as a band that sounds as if they
have been playing rock music their whole lives.
Slavin’s songwriting, raspy voice and “get up!” lyrics, coupled with
the band’s unadulterated approach to making rock music give the
band pop appeal without sacrificing their rock and roll edge.
