Skids

The story

Scottish punk band.

Formed in Dunfermline in 1977 by Richard Jobson (vocals), Stuart Adamson (guitar), William Simpson (bass) and Tom Kellichan (drums).

Rusty Egan replaced Tom Kellichan in 1979. William Simpson departed after the recording of the second album, following differences about the musical direction Egan and their producer Bill Nelson wanted to take. As a result the line-up changed with Russell Webb (bass) and Mike Baillie (drums) joining Jobson and Adamson. Adamson left in 1981 to form . Following Adamson's departure, the band disbanded. They reformed in 2017.
