Skin 'Em Up is the debut album from the Scottish neo-rockabilly group the Shakin' Pyramids, released in 1981 by Cuba Libre, a subsidiary of Virgin Records.

"[5] NME noted, "Although The Shakin' Pyramids don't twist the '50's forms into any startling directions, they do invest them with a great deal of spontaneity and freshness.

"[5] Sounds stated, "With a deep-rooted love for the Everlys, the hardy ability to busk their way around the nation's bus stops and the confidence to rely on the minimum of instrumental muscle, they are different from the rest, in a perverse way.

[4] Trouser Press wrote, "The album pounds furiously, putting your average megawatt metal band to shame.

"[6] AllMusic rated the album 4½/5 stars, calling it an "explosive bopping and mostly acoustic set" that "helped define the short-lived rockabilly revival of the early '80s".
