Lifted from what will be Skinny Lister‘s sixth studio full length, Shanty Punk, that is due out on the 20th October via Xtra Mile Recordings. The album’s lead single is now accompanied with a head-spinning video shot in the band’s old boozer of choice, The Forge & Flagon, a garden shed that has been innovatively converted into a traditional pub complete with tankards, pumps, a wood burner, dart board, horse brasses and all manner of other kinds of trinkets. A venue that has loomed large in the history of the band.

“Our fondness of the place was so great that we named our debut album after it. It’s been the venue of many great nights over the years, filled with music, good friends and great vibes. On occasion it’s been the place to gather for a post-show after-party when gigging up Leicester way. It has a magical atmosphere and we had great fun finally getting to make a video in there – cracked a few beers, pulled out the instruments and just tried to capture the spirit and uniqueness of the place. Long live the Forge” (frontman Daniel Heptinstall)

A song built for the road and the endless adventures it can promise, Company Of The Bar, finds the band dwelling on three recurring themes that have been constants in their career: drinking, traveling and the sea. Swirling into one exhilarating new single, the results make for a driving, no-nonsense celebration of the virtues of hanging out down the pub with mates and loved ones.
