			*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).
