A glorious, riotous mix of chest-thumping anthems, shanty sing-a-longs and folk/punk classics, tempered by some of the most tender and reflective songs the band have penned yet; the Skinnies’ new album Songs From The Yonder is out now, on coloured vinyl, signed CD, digital, and five unique additional CD formats with bonus tracks.
Picking up where the acclaimed Shanty Punk left off, their seventh studio album, Songs From The Yonder, will find the band revelling in their nostalgic touchstones, while facing the future with a wide eyed sense of optimism and a warming reverence for what has been. With plenty of harks back to their folk roots and some more tender touches too, longstanding fans will be enamoured to hear that those classic Skinny themes of drinking, travelling, the sea and ploughing on in the face of adversity, are still hoisted high on the band’s flagpole throughout this latest outing.
The album features previously released title-track “Song From The Yonder”, the sea-worthy “Yorkshire Belle”, the fervent “Plough On”, and swaggering drinking song “Set Us Straight”. Teeming with themes of seafaring, travelling, drinking, family, and good times, Songs From The Yonder is the seventh release from the good ship Skinny Lister and slots seamlessly into their canon. Alongside the signed CD, digital and vinyl releases, the band also recently announced that five extra CD formats of the album are now available to buy from the band’s official site. Each CD features bespoke artwork in the style of an old seaside postcard – illustrated by John Davison, (Cartoons From The Pit) – and a different bonus acoustic track included on each of them. Fans can buy individually or as a set, a collectable piece of Skinny Lister music. Check them out here: https://skinnylister.tmstor.es/

More from Skinny Lister:
Since 2009, Skinny Lister have been at the forefront of first-rate folk/punk in the UK. Making waves with the irrepressible energy of their debut album Forge and Flagon in 2012, the London-formed crew went on to sign with Xtra Mile Recordings for the release of their classic second album Down On Deptford Broadway (2014) and so beginning a partnership that has birthed a further four records with the label including The Devil, The Heart, The Fight (2016), The Story Is… (2019), A Matter Of Life & Love (2021), and most recently Shanty Punk. Given its mastering polish at the iconic Abbey Road Studios by Frank Arkwright, their last effort Shanty Punk saw the band delivering their most autobiographical and arguably most definitive Skinny Lister album yet.
As the band’s career continues to see them passing the growing flagon of their experiences with every album and tour. They’ve led an endless parade gathering fans old and new, from the respected folk circuit to the riotous Download Festival, igniting pogoing mosh-pits at each. Over the past ten years they’ve travelled from rain-soaked London to the vast arteries of the USA, upgrading from narrow boat to Salty Dog Cruise, played huge tours across Europe and North America and headlined themselves across festivals, sweatboxes and ever-larger venues. Performing with some of music’s most tenacious live acts from Dropkick Murphys to Frank Turner, Boy George to Beans on Toast to The Bouncing Souls, not to mention reigniting their US fanbase with an epic tour across America with Flogging Molly in 2023; Skinny Lister’s formidable live rep more than proceeds them. And now with the tantalising promise of some potential new material on the horizon, catch Skinny Lister touring the tunes of new album Songs From The Yonder at a venue near you this year.
