3/14/2023 0 Comments My music rescue![]() Everything from punk to rock and roll, hard rock, classic rock, glam rock, all different flavours through to heavy metal and I think that comes through and makes SkinInc unique. So there’s a real broad range of influences and styles. Our drummer Matt Franklin plays in an AC/DC tribute band in Perth, so he loves that four on the floor driving rhythm and our newest member Johnno on bass loves Prince. He likes a whole heap of modern rock as well. Our lead guitarist Steve D is a big Ozzy Osbourne fan, particularly Zakk Wylde’s style of guitar playing with the little pick squeals and stuff like that. And when you look at all the guys in the band, Corey our rhythm guitarist has always liked the industrial edge stuff. Everything from LA Guns to Hanoi Rocks to Monster Magnet, a real broad range. And we get a wide range of different styles. “I ask a lot of people, what do you think this song sounds like or what do you think SkinInc sounds like? Name some other artists. It Saved My Soul is a hard-rocking number that emphatically announces the fact that SkinInc have come back stronger than ever, but Miles also points out that it is the eclectic nature of the band and their musical tastes that is the cornerstone of much of their material. This song is really about music helping me through those dark times and being my salvation in many ways.” I had a marriage break up just before COVID hit, and we went into lockdown, so I had a bit of a head start on all the shit fuckery of the whole situation. Over recent years with the pandemic, we’ve all been going through some rough times and having more time on our hands to think introspectively about life. I was kind of reflecting on my life and whenever I have been going through stuff that is pretty heavy and dark I found I always turn to music to help lift me out of that mood and get me into a better place. The second song It Saved My Soul is about being in a dark place and going through hard times in life and turning to music as your salvation, or the antidote for pulling you out of those dark times. “I guess the lyrical content of that song was around how life knocks you down. “We had a long break for 20 years and recently came back, and we released our first single called Life’s A Bitch,” he began.
