The trio recently released their second single ‘Talk To Yourself’ to be taken from their upcoming album ‘Love and Violence’ which is scheduled for release Spring 2024.

‘Talk To Yourself’ is the second single to be lifted from the album and follows in the footsteps of ‘Dim The Lights’ which was released in April of this year.

Skanger have amassed a large and loyal following in their native Ireland having received praise, features and repeated plays from the likes of HotPress, Rte magazine and Radio 1, Dublin City FM, The Irish Times, and TG 4 television to name but a few.

The band are now looking to break out of Ireland and release their music on to a wider audience.

The latest single release of ‘Talk to Yourself’ is a track that really showcases the band musically. It’s an upbeat sound coupled with melodic guitar riffs and a steady drum beat mixed with meaningful lyricism. The track really draws you in and asks you to pay attention and listen.

Described by singer Mark Healy as

“a simple message about a complicated problem that many people struggle with every day,”

This song through the medium of music explores the deeper issues of mental health and its impact upon us and further seeks to remind us to treat ourselves and others with kindness and respect.

‘Talk To Yourself’ is accompanied by a music video featuring Healy driving in and around Dublin City taking in all the familiar sights and landmarks along the way, his gaze often stopping to focus on the camera as he looks directly at the viewer asking them “Why don’t you be kind to yourself ? ” Watch the official music video here now
