Singleskin formed in Dunfermline, 1998. After a few years of gigging the Scottish circuit they signed to a small independent record label, releasing their first single “79 Electroshock Treatments” in 2001.
The single soon began getting regular airplay on local and national radio, securing them a spot at the Gig on the Green festival in Glasgow.

In 2002 they released their second single “Even The Saints Can Get It Wrong” which made single of the week in The Sun newspaper and yet again got lots of radio airplay and supports with then up and coming band, Snow Patrol.
By now they had started work on the album “Millions Of Comforting Arms” which was completed in 2003. The album was never released due to the record company going into administration.

After 8 years Singleskin have decided to make the album available and to release a new single “If We Are One” and to coincide will reunite to perform some exclusive live gigs in the autumn of 2011.

Singleskin are
Paul Dunning – Vocals/Guitar
Dave Bernthal – Guitar/Vocals
Colin Smith – Bass/Vocals
Gary McAuley – Drums (formely Darrell Anthony)
