SKINNY LISTER

‘COMPANY OF THE BAR’ taken from upcoming album ‘SHANTY PUNK’

Avast ye scurvy dogs! Get ready to raise your flagons and stomp your boots, because party-hearty English folk punks Skinny Lister are back with a new track guaranteed to get the masses singing at the top of their lungs.

Shanty Punk, the band’s sixth studio effort, lands anchor on 20th October, and it’s a rollicking collection of drinking songs and revelrous tales that capture the raucous spirit of their live shows. The first single “Company of the Bar” is an ode to pub crawlin’ with your mates that’ll have you belting the chorus louder than a mythic siren’s call. And it’s just one of the many soon-to-be-classics on this album.

We get epic yarns like the time frontman Dan Heptinstall got in over his head arm wrestling in Dresden on “Arm Wrestling in Dresden.” And “Pittsburgh Punch Up” chronicles their misadventures after hiring the wrong driver for a US tour. Other standouts include the arena-sized stomper “Down on the Barrier” and the sweet singalong “Mantra” with Lorna Heptinstall.

In true Skinnies style, Shanty Punk is chock full of drunken tales and songs meant for group participation. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios and mixed by producers Patrick Phillips and Daniel Heptinstall, it captures the ragtag spirit of the band – blending traditional English folk with turbocharged punk energy.

Skinny Lister will be sailing the high seas and pillaging the eastern shores of the US and Canada on their upcoming tour. So grab a drink and join the Skinnies crew as they bring the party once again. It’s a shanty punk celebration not to be missed!
