Skinny Lister announce new album 'Shanty Punk'

Following on from the release of their much-loved 2021 LP 'A Matter Of Life & Love', Skinny Lister have now announced their plans for a new studio album, arriving later this year.

The new full-length 'Shanty Punk' is being previewed by the new lead single 'Company Of The Bar', and is set to be released on the 20th October via Xtra Mile Recordings.

Speaking about the new record, the band's Dan Heptinstall said, “Shanty Punk is our 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.”

While adding about the new track, “It’s a simple sentiment, but one that is at the heart of the Skinny Lister philosophy. This is a song that has been built for the rugged road, and we can’t wait to hear it belted back at us on our upcoming US and UK Tours later this year!”
