Skint Knees Releases New Single: “Cheerleader”
From the start of “Cheerleader” Skint Knees come at you with an in you face fucking questions: “1-2-3-4 How Long Until I’m Called a Whore?” overtop a drum beat that reminds me a bit of the chorus of T.W.A.T. by The Twats. This is a rad fucking mix of street punk and Riotgrrrl without fully falling into either camp.
