Skin Back Alley is a site of music news, reviews and features. We aim to be inclusive and maintain integrity in all that we do. Mainstream pop is just as welcome as death metal. Well always try to find something good to say about the music reaching our ears. And if we cant find something good well tell you that, too. What we wont do is offer personal prejudice wrapped in the cloak of critique. Launched in 2010, Skin Back Alley was so named because of a lane in the village of Whitwell, north east Derbyshire, where you used to be able to buy a rabbit for just two pence as long as you promised to return the skin. Hence Skin Back .. The rabbit skin would be treated and sold on and every part of the animal was used in a meaningful way
