Skintrade | th

LINE UP:
Matti Alfonzetti (vocals), George Bravo (guitar), Stefan Bergström (guitar), Håkan Calmroth (bass), Håkan Persson (drums)

A heavily Grunge influenced outfit led by ex-BAM BAM BOYS, JAGGED EDGE and Scott Gorham's WESTERN FRONT vocalist Matti Alfonzetti, having returned home to Sweden Alfonzetti recorded demos with TALISMAN before uniting with erstwhile ERRATIC TALE guitarist George Bravo, a Chilean exile, to form SKINTRADE. The initial line up also included former GLORY drummer Jonas Östman.

The band's first single 'One By One' actually included the same cut on the B side but sung in Spanish. SKINTRADE added drummer Andi Chase in mid 1995, although Alfonzetti and guitarist Stefan Bergström quit after the second album and SKINTRADE added vocalist Francis 'Bravo' Rencoret to bring the line-up back up to strength.
