Skinny Lister Announce “Shanty Punk” Album & Share Lead Single “Company Of The Bar”

Skinny Lister have confirmed that their sixth studio full length, Shanty Punk, will be released on the 20th October via Xtra Mile Recordings. The album announcement is coupled with the unveiling of its lead single, Company Of The Bar. A song built for the road and the endless adventures it can promise, Company Of The Bar fuses three themes that have loomed large throughout Skinny Lister‘s output: drinking, traveling and the sea. Combining these into one driving, no-nonsense celebration of the virtues of hanging out down the pub with mates and loved ones; it’s a barnstorming addition to the Skinny Lister catalogue and one that pines to be heard bellowed out at your local gig haunt.

“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! 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.” (vocalist Dan Heptinstall)
