Skip the Use

Skip the Use is a French rock band formed in 2007 around Matt Bastard, a former member of the ska-punk group Carving. The lineup also includes Yann Stefani, Jay Gimenez, Lio Rapsaert and Manamax Catteloin. In 2009 Skip the Use released their first self-produced eponymous album. The band had great success with this debut and went on tour, performing nearly 300 shows in barely two years. Their second album, "Can be late", was released in February 2012 on the Polydor label and earned the band the Victoire for Rock Album of the Year in 2013. Since then, Skip the Use has continued to perform concerts in France and elsewhere.
