About

Skunk Anansie, British alternative rock energy with a bold voice since 1994.

Seven studio albums and several live recordings — limited edition pressings to premium vinyl prices.

Skunk Anansie emerged from the UK rock scene in the mid-90s with a unique mix of alternative, rock, punk, and pop international styles. Their catalog includes 11 vinyl releases spanning studio albums, live recordings, and colored limited editions. The band’s hallmark is Skin’s distinctive shaved head and powerful voice backed by Ace on guitar, Cass on bass, and Mark Richardson on drums.

After their original run ending in 2001, the group reformed in 2009, expanding their discography with four more studio albums including the 2025 release The Painful Truth. Vinyl editions range from standard LPs to numbered test pressings, with prices reflecting rarity and pressing variants across Europe and beyond.
