The lads - vocalist and guitarist Ryan Spendlove, guitarist Andrei Nosov, bassist Tom Bailey, and percussionist Paul Brown - bring together blues, soul, folk, reggae and rock to create a sound which is youthful and sharp, but also organic and colourful.
Their single Change My Mind became a massive club hit following its inclusion on the 2006 Lynx Boost shower gel advertisement, in which a man goes to a nightclub in just a towel.

They broke up in 2008.

The Blueskins's song "Girl" is a heartfelt plea from a man who is searching for a special girl in his life. He describes her as smart, sexy, and independent, with her own money, job, and credit cards. He admires her ability to hold her own in the world, and recognizes that there are few like her around. He longingly imagines what it would be like to have her by his side, and he cannot help but think about her constantly.
The lyrics express the desire of the singer to find a woman who is both attractive and intelligent, and who is willing to be a true partner in his life. He recognizes that he must be careful not to lose her if he does find her, as there are likely to be many others who are vying for her attention. He describes himself as "fiendin'," indicating his deep craving for her presence in his life. He promises to treat her right and be the man she needs to fulfill her desires and needs.
The song is a plea for love and connection, spoken from the only perspective the singer knows: that of a man searching for a woman to complete him. While the lyrics are simple, they strike a chord with anyone who has ever longed for love and companionship.
