Relentless folk punk powerhouses Skinny Lister have released their joyous new single, Plough On, that is taken from their new album, Songs From The Yonder, that is due for release on 9th May via Xtra Mile RecordingsPlough On is a rousing rallying cry that urges us to roar in the face of adversity. Rooted in the influences that inspired the band’s earliest works, eagle-eared listeners will detect references to the melody of the traditional tune Speed The Plough, which the band would perform together in their very earliest days. The track arrives complete with a hilarious video that finds the band tackling all terrain and taking on a bunch of less metaphoric, very real physical obstacles, some members more successfully than others!

“‘It’s always fun to revisit uplifting traditional melodies like this, and stay connected to what we feel is the folk soul of the band. ‘Plough On’ is about overcoming those unwelcome obstacles that inevitably get thrown our way now and then. But most of all, it’s an optimistic song about successfully weathering the storm and the hope of reaching ‘good times again’.” (frontman Dan Heptinstall)
