Brooklyn-based rock band The Skins has announced a North American tour with British musician Jake Bugg. The band, consisting of siblings Bayli, Reef, and Kaya Mckeithan, along with dueling guitarists and former School of Rock classmates Daisy Spencer and Russell Chell, has been working on a followup EP to their self-released 2012 EP, The Skins.

Although the band range in ages from 15-21, The Skins play offer a soulful interpretation of songs, proving that age doesn’t matter. It is perhaps this synergy and attitude among close family and friends, along with early demos like ‘Surf’ and ‘Dead Hands’ (above), that caught renowned producer Rick Rubin‘s attention, who has been developing songs with the band at his own Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, CA. Their first in-studio music video recorded by Wreckroom Records, a Brooklyn based music incubator for emerging bands, that they helped found with actor Adrian Grenier. Contemporary street artist/graphic designer Shepard Fairey has also offered to design the band’s t-shirts and stickers for this tour, which will be available for sale on the road.
