New album: Skinny Lister || Shanty Punk

Party time! British folk-punk band Skinny Lister return with their sixth studio LP, called Shanty Punk. We should see it as a concept album, and the concept is Skinny Lister: “It’s a pure distillation of what makes Skinny Lister tick, and perhaps a collection of songs that leans further into our folky routes than we’ve ventured in some years. It felt to us like it was time to touch base and celebrate the essence of the band, while at the same time giving it a fresh and dynamic feel.” You get eleven highly entertaining Pogues-y tunes that will make you thirsty, from a no-nonsense celebration of the virtues of hanging out down the pub with mates and loved ones (Company Of The Bar) to the story about that time frontman Daniel Heptinstall got in above his head in an arm-wrestling competition in Dresden (Arm Wrestling In Dresden). Sing along, jump along, drink along, laugh along.

Shanty Punk is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP through Xtra Mile Recordings.
