Skunk Anansie are a British rock band made up of Deborah “Skin” Dyer (lead vocals, guitar), Richard “Cass” Lewis (bass, guitar, backing vocals), Martin “Ace” Kent (guitar, backing vocals) and Mark Richardson (drums).

The name “Skunk Anansie” is taken from Akan folk tales of Anansi the spider-man of Ghana,with “Skunk” added to “make the name nastier”.

They have released six studio albums: Paranoid & Sunburnt (1995 – One Little Independent), Stoosh (1996 – One Little Independent), Post Orgasmic Chill (1999 – Virgin), Wonderlustre (2010 – V2 Records), Black Traffic (2012 – 100% Records) and Anarchytecture (2016 – earMUSIC); and one compilation album, Smashes and Trashes (2009 – One Little Independent). As well as this, they have released a number of hit singles, including Weak, Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good) and Brazen (Weep)

They are often grouped as part of a Britrock movement, running alongside Britpop. The band, in 2004, was named as one of the most successful UK chart acts between 1952 and 2003 by the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums, with a total of 142 weeks on both the singles and album charts ranking them at No. 491.
