Skinny Lister
“Skinny Lister knows how to have a good time. Throughout their performances, there are various Celtic references, acoustic instrumentation and a ton of fun. It’s a kind of show where you need to hold onto your bootstraps.” – Noisey
“…a visceral and deafening experience.” – The Independent (5-out-of-5)
“…considerably upped their game.” – Q Magazine (5-out-of-5)
London-based rock band Skinny Lister are proud announce brand new single ‘Thing Like That’, a politically charged track taken from their recently released double-album version of their third critically acclaimed full-length, The Devil, The Heart & The Fight.
The track is a response to recent political events in both the UK and US, which have proved difficult to ignore, even for a usually non-political band. The discourse created by the likes of Brexit and Trump coarse through the veins of this blistering rant of a track which flashes by in an exhilarating 2’13”. ‘Thing Like That’ along with ‘Christmas Calls’, a song inspired by The Pogues’ classic ‘Fairy Tale Of New York’, lead the second CD of the new package before treating the listener to the frenetic energy of their live performances from the band's biggest sold out London show to date at the Scala, and from the Roundhouse during Frank Turner's Lost Evenings Festival both in May 2017.
The bonus disc also features acoustic sessions from the Paste Studio in New York City and the Xtra Mile Outside Broadcast truck which showcase the musical talents of a band that can not only give a full throttle performance on stage but are also able to strip it all back for more intimate renditions. The disc also features four tracks of live band banter, and ends with a lo-fi version of new track ‘Boy Ashore’ which offers an intriguing insight into a rawer and folkier side of Skinny Lister. This two-CD re-release that contains new artwork, live tracks and three brand new songs is out now on Xtra Mile Recordings.
Additionally, Skinny Lister will be returning to the U.S. for a headlining tour with acclaimed UK singer-songwriter and labelmate Will Varley supporting on all dates beginning on February 20 at the House of Blues in Dallas, TX. The tour will visit markets such as Los Angeles, CA on February 24, San Francisco, CA on February 25, Seattle, WA on February 28, Chicago, IL on March 6, Brooklyn, NY on March 9, Philadelphia, PA on March 11, Nashville, TN on March 14, and culminate in an appearance at this year’s SXSW Music and Arts Festival in Austin, TX on March 17.
