Manchester Punk Festival Releases 38th Compilation
Manchester Punk Festival have released the 38th volume of their compilation series ahead of this year’s festival. Manchester Punk Festival Vol. 38 is…
On the eve of their highly anticipated UK headline tour Skinny Lister have released their brand new single, Set Us Straight. The digital only single, Set Us Straight, is trademark Skinny Lister, an instantly catchy, sing-a-long romp that is destined to go down a storm in the wild ruckus of their live shows. Relating to a field that Skinny Lister are decidedly experts in, The Pub, it’s a rowdy, wide-eyed, drinking track that’s the perfect chaser for knocking them back into the early hours with your best pals.
‘Set us Straight’ is another Skinny Lister ode to the traditional public house, but this time it’s personal! We’ve painted a scene in the lyrics that features a bunch of good Skinny friends. The mentioned Guyer – who is a great friend as well as fan of the band – has attended well over 100 Skinny shows – now that’s dedication – cheers Guyer! Lorna is also in there dancing on the table while Billy (aka Party George’s ‘William Harker’) picks the diddle on his guitar. There’s also a nod to the delicious ‘Lorna’s Hammer’ cocktail, which was created by another good friend Scott – in honour of Lorna’s car destroying behaviour in our video ‘Devil In Me’…. it’s primarily a song about sharing some good times with good friends, and a reflection of the ongoing Skinny party. It’s also a fun track to play live – so expect to hear it in our upcoming UK Tour.” (frontman Dan Heptinstall)
