This band played at the bar I work in Lisbon,Portugal!

They are great!

[realfunniness]

i love the 60's influence in this song!!!  :)

[Wildstyle23]

in a weird way it's sounds a bit like Donovan - Season of the witch

[trabongo]

Kinks+Beatles (LP Please Please me)....

[GeoMan123451]

Beautifully sleazy

[bichointoxicado]

[mariblubb]

@TaffyRaphie Skins UK

[logiccarlos123456]

Damn! The first time i saw this video it only had 1,000 views!

[withnielandi]

I had no idea this had been on a tv show. A band as humble as the strange boys hitting the big time, id have never of thought it when I first put the strange boys and girls club on back in early 2009......

[TheMeloFelo]

nothing wrong with skins

[PaulinaAlice]

I love it.

I knew this before Skins. But it was Skins that introduced it to quite a lot of my friends, which is great.

[jelsaleh]

People say hipster like it's a bad thing and in my head I'm just like, what?! they have no idea

[TheeBigRagu]

sounds a bit like donovan

[withnielandi]

@TheeBigRagu Right..........?

[santamistura]

loveeeeeeee it!!!

[MKultrapro]

Like if a friend showed you this song....

[BassManDan101]

nice sleazy indie! likin' this shit!

[TheMeloFelo]

The fact that this song is recently new, gives me hope that good music isnt dead.

[BenjaminJoelstown]

@TheMeloFelo Agreed. Though I don't believe good music will ever die — you just can't rely on tv or the radio for it anymore...

[TheMeloFelo]

@BenjaminJoelstown yeah i agree actually, you just have to put for of an effort into finding good music.

[withnielandi]

@TheMeloFelo Yes, the mainstream has let us down so thank god for the internet

[Elijahlovesmusic]

i digg it

[Ouin00b]

I love this. Great music.

[nomnomdeguerre]

Skins introduced many people to The Strange Boys.

The Strange Boys introduced me to Skins.

[RandomMusicAddict]

@nomnomdeguerre Ahaha, I had the same thing with Archie Bronson Outfit. Was listening to Dart for my Sweetheart, saw a ton of Skins comments, and figured I'd give the show a shot. Ended up loving it. And...now I'm here discovering more great music. :)

[krizthydee]

During my last day in college, when my thesis was about to be checked, the only thing I could think about was this song!

[TheBridgeThomas]

Kicked ass at FYF

[nol07i]

black lips Veni Vedi Vici anybody?

[MsSummerFruits]

tuneee!:)

[AHarmlessBlackMan]

Im not saing it 'brought me here' but this was also in Entourage

so good for the Strange Boys at least TV producers are taking note of em!

[memster34]

[dasophie99]

[JohnwiththeMustaches]

@memster34 its funny how people dont know how to use google

[eyesetokill219]

[eyesetokill219]

@cheesischrist

[StoryWB]

[liviaa582]

[stevenlhodges]

[MadBadger]

I heard this on the radio n nearly ran a school bus over the road... I shoulda been brave n gone thru with it

[believemenatalie]

Hell yeah bravery.

[cheesischrist]

this is what we need

[monkeyturdman7]

I saw these guys in Huntsville a few weeks ago. They blew everyone away. Incredible live band. They're also really, really cool guys too. Bummed a light off Ryan.

[bonjourmyfriends]

Music sounds good to you, or it doesn't. Grow up - nobody gives a shit about your chronological history of liking this.

[MIRRORSnFEVERS]

cool cool

[wovenlion]

funny vid. and great music :)

[rafaelmadferit]

The Strange Boys rule. Skins UK sucks. Skins US sucks even more.

[carliarce]

@rafaelmadferit You sucks

[OSUismysecondname]

I know this band because Skins. Sorry about be than mainstream, fucking hipsters!

[lizikakizil]

If I didn't know, I would guess this is stright from the sixties. OhFuckYes.

[Tonidoesit]

Ive been listening to this song everyday.

[judemars4]

guys who cares if some people found this amazing bad from a TV show, the point is this band is getting recognised and getting the fame they deserve, so how about we just write comments on how awesome the band is and don't fill them with hate on a TV show.

[elementz1986]

This video is most popular with: Female 13-17

hahahaha....does this have to do with that stupid show everyone is mentioning?

[JimGee1982]

Fuck people who need TV shows to get them into music. These guys kill, sooooo many good bands out there

[angelaa553]

I'm here for the music, screw Skins.

[leushy]

Yeah, umm ,sorry, but Skins can fuck off. Awesome band. Great music.

[Clipmixerify]

Thumbs of if u heard this from skins, and if you think franky is awesome xD

[TheyAreNotYou89]

kinda reminds me of The Black Keys. LOVE IT! :D

[partyhardydardy]

the strange boys are like a legitimate rock n roll group.

[qm2smith]

Love that Lo-Fi Garage Sound.....

[Robertalanoliva]

@emily7551 haha bitch calm the fuck down and make me a sandwich

[monkeyturdman7]

13 people are cowards

[AsSeenOnTV0893]

I love the bluesy feel of this.

[jahdesignedit]

Like if you knew this band before Skins turned it into a teen thing.

[BolanTheMetalGuru]

@jahdesignedit

28 people are hipsters.

[rudyprotrudy08]

@jahdesignedit Who cares about "likes" anyway?

[snowboardfrontfliper]

@jahdesignedit Hipster

[MsBitch56]

@jahdesignedit Ha. Skins was always a teen thing. 

[Alexshik12]

And yet another person asking for "likes" wanting attention because mommy and daddy did not give them enough as a kid. This song combines an exquisite mix, of reggae, rock, r&b, a little bit of the 60s. Its something original, and refreshing from what the pop culture has done to today's music. This song is kinda talking about breaking away, and the courage needed to do so, and yet you had to ask for attention. I really wish that the star system comes back. "Like" this comment (sarcasm intended).

[jahdesignedit]

@Alexshik12 have you heard yourself lately? I'm hoping that when you clicked on this youtube link you came to enjoy the music, instead of putting people down based off a silly Youtube comment. It's funny you say 'mommy and daddy' like you are some beacon of maturity and insight yet your comment is filled with a truckload of bullshit. Just listen to the song, light a bowl and have a nice day.

[MsBitch56]

@jahdesignedit Correction: Skins was ALWAYS a teen thing. I mean..most 30 yr. olds don't watch it. 

[Robertalanoliva]

skins can suck it

[toast5oos]

dope song...i looked down on the comments and was like awww damn skins ruining songs, then i saw that is was skins uk and was like PHEW

[catbells69]

12 people weren't brave.

[CatgotyourKatie]

skins again :)

[JohnyFretka]

@CatgotyourKatie Which episode?

[CatgotyourKatie]

@JohnyFretka Series 5, Episode 1 :) Frankys episode, It plays as shes getting ready for her first day.

[niiiicolecita]

Skins is a BAFTA-winning British teen drama super cool!

[urbanlion100]

Probably the best band today in my head.

[pretty23garbage]

what is skins, a movie??

[piiikj]

Franky brought me here....



[StefiaBRprods]

I know this song from this commercial Olivia Palermo did... but I did squeak when I heard it in skins...

[rosannagabrielle]

So what if people found it on skins, it lead people to good music,didn't it?

[han09hague]

@rosannagabrielle my sentiments exactly ... x

[petenice666]

Super kill sound from way back with gooey, drippy reverb.

[SissyfromGreece]

I love this song! and I loved it better after hearing it on skins! frankie=love

[SnypaStudios]

Whether Skins is good or not, it's useful for helping good music like this get heard, right?

[supersimo182]

@SnypaStudios damn right!

[joanestebanborras9]

skins is embarrassingly shit

[KaybeeRetro]

i love franky <3

[loveisawave]

[theCAcashRefund]

[umter]

12 people arent very brave

[MarianelaMcQueen]

i like itt

[jaredisawsome007]

stfu about skins!! who cares

[dasophie99]

Skins UK ppl not Fucking Skins USA tht sucks!!

[mindingosafado]

Been listening to this since before Skins was even an idea. Stupid Skins bandwagon hipster faggot producers, amen.

[dasophie99]

@mindingosafado At least skins made more ppl to listent to this song...wich is good for the band....u fucking idiot.

[mindingosafado]

@dasophie99 Being super famous is shit. You're life isn't ever normal, you always have people after you asking you questions, people worrying and speculating about your life, etc. Being famous isn't all is cracked up to be.

[dasophie99]

@mindingosafado i get what u r saying...but look im from argentina southamerica and without skins i would never had listen to this...so im thnkful...thats all :)

[slampants]

@mindingosafado i don't like skins, but that is a typical 'hipster' thing to say. something is too mainstream to play a certain song whine whine whine. the band obviously had some say whether or not skins should be able to use the song so who the fuck are you to say they shouldnt. besides skins has been in the u.k for years, probably definitely before strange boys were around, so i'd get shit right before you end your comment so confidently as to use 'amen'. arsehole, get a grip and get informed

[mindingosafado]

@slampants they can use it all they want. i simply dislike when a song gets bandwagoned, by that i mean when one company/group/etc use it for somethin soon everyone gets on the bandwagon. it happened with grizzly bear, they come out with a song, next thing you know its getting used to sell me a car. so essentially i feel soon the song will start being used to sell me something and it somewhat ruins the song because ill start associating it with a volkswagen or a sandwich.

[slampants]

@mindingosafado yeah i agree with you there but that is completely besides the point, you blamed "bandwagon hipster faggot producers" not car adverts. adverts are different because they are viewed by pretty much everyone who doesn't live under a rock, whereas tv shows are aimed at a certain group of people. strange boys are a contemporary band popular with young people, skins is a contemporary tv show popular with young people. you do the maths.

[mindingosafado]

@slampants yes i said "bandwagon hipster faggot producers" as a one all term to describe what was in my head and i know most people wont have any idea what that means, but i do. its essentially the whole process of tv producers using music that is what people listen to and alot of times it ends up being the more underground less heard of stuff, for whatever reason,which my brain associated with hipster because alot of the time hipster kids know about this stuff before anyone, then at some point

[mindingosafado]

@slampants at some point the bandwagon effect comes along where its gets used on tv, then it essentally spreads and by which time other tv producers are using it for commercials etc so forth. but really the "bandwagon hipster faggot producers" are beside the point. the whole point is it ends up on one show and other and soon its some what runing the song for me because i start associating it with whatever it gets used with. i dint mind ages ago, but now advrtsing is mad oppressive its everywhere

[mindingosafado]

@slampants idk if i explained myself clearly, but that whole explanation was that "bandwagon hipster faggot producers" and car ads are connected

[leonababes]

Lol i watch skins n dint even recognise this song was off it till i read the comments :P

[MultiApril09]

90210 and skins...yeoooow!

[macmillankremer1990]

nice song

[FrazerSaunders]

12 reasons for birth control.

[meltrux]

oh que piola, el sonido es parecido a The Kinks

[MrJapanDisco]

soundtrack of Skins

[0peacefrog0]

it sounds a bit like donovan, dont u think? or do i just listen too much donovan?:D

[Aneizarretanamesten]

oh! I love Skins and the soundtrack is brilliant!!

[craftybasterd69]

FUCK "SKINS",THATS PUSSY SHIT.

[dawishard]

fuck skins

[xbeaautifullytragic]

mmf thanks skins for this brilliant song.

[indieaner52]

YES

[dtucker61]

ahaaa when this came on, on skins i was like wooo finally some good vibee'y tunes

[bakersakter]

wahts skins?

[musikmilla]

@bakersakter Oh, only just THE BEST TV-SERIES EVER. I highly recommend it :-)

[Monkeyfishism]

@musikmilla No, it's fucking terrible now.

[madiidass1]

Just heard this on skins... now lets watch the increase of views? :L

[Marinwette]

SKINS 5 MOTHERFUCKEUR <3

[rosssinthehouse]

gutted that this song made it onto UK skins. Altho who can blame them, think about the marketing access to all the wee gay hipsters that watch show.

[cadette19]

this reminds me of a really old song from the 60s/70s cant remember what it is though

[chedder72]

Shut it with the Skins already. idkwtf that is but shiiiiiiiiiiiiit .

[tonyyy789]

what the fuck is skins?

anywho this sounds almost identical to "cant seem to make you mine" by the Seeds....both are kickass songs!

[bowtiesarecool]

@tonyyy789 It's a british television show.

[NirvanaLurver]

i couldn't believe it when this came on sins, i was like wtf are the strange boys doing on skins. i freaked out a little

[dasophie99]

Skins UK!!!!!!!

PS: Skins USA sucks even more than i thought it would.

[dasophie99]

Thanks Skins, this series always has the best music!!!

[estoyaboyado]

Although sometimes I get a little bit mad cause some of my favourites bands are showed in SKins and that's the only one reason why suddenly everybody "loves" them, I must also say that I've met REALLY good bands and singers thanks to Skins. This is one of them, of course.

[bowtiesarecool]

Heard this on Skins (UK) and absolutely loved it.

[kiszka05]

that's why i love skins' soundtrack. <3

[LeFreakSoChic]

As much as I love Skins, they sure as hell exploited one of my favorite songs but I honestly don't mind bc it's a win-win situation and it fit Franky very well.

[fourteenseventytwo]

saw them last night in laredo, texas.

great show. great song.

[arancienne]

This went really good with that first scene on skins series 5. And I would like skins for bringing such great music into my life every season! :D

[xxKiernan94xx]

Well, it looks like MTV network ruined another wonderful song. :(

[scarlettneverland]

@xxKiernan94xx This wasn't on the version on MTV...this was in the series 5 premiere over in the UK...

[xxKiernan94xx]

@scarlettneverland My apologies; that certainly changes things then. UK Skins is far better written with deeper characters than the trash in the states. UK Skins (like UK Office) is certainly more brilliant than it's American counterparts. The Strange Boys has been much more successful in the UK than here, so it makes more sense too. Great song and band regardless. Sorry for the mistake

[lolstefi]

wuuuuu skins!! season 5 actually doesn't suck!! :D and obviously it has amazing sountracks

[Caritogo16]

Skins is the best way to find out about awesome music

Skins music man, Kyle Lynd, has the best taste in music!

[pierreerichexum]

@Caritogo16 He also checks The Rough Trade and Pitchfork Media websites a lot too :)

[Callister93]

Skins always has the best music. ^.^

[thestickattack]

SKINS!!



[TheMedialny]

Lovely, wow, so lovely.

[Aleja28064212]

Skins !!!

[ReinardBruzo]

Skins FTW

♥

[han09hague]

just heard this on skins n thought that is shit hot , I need it in my life noooow ! tune ! ♥

[MinusZeroRed]

@han09hague hearing this was used on Skins and thats how you discovered it is highly depressing....

[han09hague]

@MinusZeroRed yeah , almost as depressing as the fact you even replied to be honest ........ does not matter in the slightest HOW I discovered it , what matters is that I HAVE discovered it , surely ??? Had it not been on Skins I very much doubt that as a 24yr old mum of one from Liverpool,UK I would have EVER discovered 'it' and such a fantastic band ........ soooooo a big thank you to Skins it is ! lighten the fk up m8 , musical snobbery is just uncouth ... =P

[epilepticteen]

@han09hague you're rad. :)
