Thrilled Skinny

Thrilled Skinny were a bonkers punk outfit from Luton, who released most of their records on their own unfortunately-named (but memorable) Hunchback Records (logo, left). We did one single ‘Popstar Prat’ on 7”. Early recordings were fast, thrashy and, to be honest, something of a racket. Their first LP managed to cram 22 tracks into its 38 minutes, ranging from Ramones-style blasts to downright noise. However, after a frantic start they slowed things down a little, smoothed off the rough edges and began producing some rather good tunes.
