Reviews & Opinions

BRADLEY TORREANO, ALL MUSIC GUIDE: Featuring lost recordings by the Oi! punkers the 4 Skins, The Secret Life of the 4 Skins is a mishmash of songs that greatly vary in recording quality. Still, this album is designed for completists and probably will not be of much interest to others, so any fan of the band who has been yearning for these lost recordings should search this out. Just beware, two of the songs have been re-recorded by former vocalist Roi Pearce.

Additional Notes

"The band's third and final vocalist, Roi Pearce joined The 4-Skins after the demise of Oi! legends The Last Resort and The Warriors. He now has a new band called ROI! and as a taste of things to come we've added two bonus tracks which are his brand new versions of 'Wonderful World' and 'Evil'". (from liner notes).
