Relentless Folk Punk powerhouses Skinny Lister have announced that their new album, Songs From The Yonder, will be released on the 9th May via Xtra Mile Recordings. A band who’ve never been afraid to plough their own furrow, they herald in their next era with the joyous new single, Plough On. The track is a rousing rallying cry that urges us to roar in the face of adversity that is propelled by the punchy vocal performance of frontman Dan Heptinstall. The track arrives complete with a hilarious official video that finds the band tackling all terrain and taking on a bunch of very real physical obstacles. Coinciding with the album’s release, the band will be hitting the road for a run of instore and headline shows throughout release week with further tours of the UK and Europe later in the year. 

“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’. Songs From The Yonder’ carries on where our last album, Shanty Punk, left off. But as well as the upbeat drinking songs and shanty style sing-alongs, which are as up front and prominent as ever, this time we’ve allowed ourselves a few more tender moments. It’s always nice to connect with that more contemplative side of our sound, which has been a major part of what we’ve done since our first album. (Dan Heptinstall)
