Skinner is Aaron Corcoran, based in Dublin, who writes, records and produces songs about growing up and overcoming a dirt-flecked 21st century existence. 
The DNA of no wave and post-punk acts like The B52s, James Chance and the Contortions and ESG through to alt-rock touchstones Pixies and Morphine combined with an talent for grunge-nodding self-production and pockets of elevated instrumentation is oozing from Skinner’s music.
Debut album New Wave Vaudeville, released January 2025 on Faction Records, references the New Wave Vaudeville music variety freak show that took place at the 57 Club in New York from 1978 to 1983. The club was known for its free-form art shows, a debaucherous wild riposte to creeping commerciality of modern culture of the time, an era that perfectly reflects the rambunctious nature Skinner has brought to this new collection.

Description

Fuel started life as a club night on September 9, 2006 after a local DJ & rock fan realised that there weren't enough places that played the music that he and so many others loved. After outgrowing it's first venue and then surviving the closure of it's second venue, Fuel moved to it's present full-time home on Womanby Street, in the heart of Cardiff's music quarter.

Fuel is now the ONLY dedicated rock & metal venue in Cardiff, providing a hub for all fans of heavy music and carrying on Cardiff's tradition of legendary rock venues.

With a mixture of club nights & live events, Fuel has something for every rock fan!
