Back with new album ‘Songs From The Yonder’, Skinny Lister have announced a run of UK & European tour dates in support of it, including Southampton’s 1865 on December 3rd.
With 26 dates altogether, the folk-punk legends will be playing shows all across the continent, before a run of UK dates in the run-up to Christmas 2025.
A glorious, riotous mix of chest-thumping anthems, shanty sing-a-longs and folk/punk classics, tempered by some of the most tender and reflective songs the band have penned yet; the Skinnies’ new album ‘Songs From The Yonder’ is out now, on coloured vinyl, signed CD, digital, and five unique additional CD formats with bonus tracks.
Picking up where the acclaimed ‘Shanty Punk’ left off, their seventh studio album, ‘Songs From The Yonder’, will find the band revelling in their nostalgic touchstones, while facing the future with a wide eyed sense of optimism and a warming reverence for what has been. With plenty of harks back to their folk roots and some more tender touches too, longstanding fans will be enamoured to hear that those classic Skinny themes of drinking, travelling, the sea and ploughing on in the face of adversity, are still hoisted high on the band’s flagpole throughout this latest outing.
The album features previously released title-track “Song From The Yonder”, the sea-worthy “Yorkshire Belle”, the fervent “Plough On”, and swaggering drinking song “Set Us Straight”.
The band’s career continues to see them passing the growing flagon of their experiences with every album and tour. They’ve led an endless parade gathering fans old and new, from the respected folk circuit to the riotous Download Festival, igniting pogoing mosh-pits at each. Over the past ten years they’ve travelled from rain-soaked London to the vast arteries of the USA, upgrading from narrow boat to Salty Dog Cruise, played huge tours across Europe and North America and headlined themselves across festivals, sweatboxes and ever-larger venues. Performing with some of music’s most tenacious live acts from Dropkick Murphys to Frank Turner, Boy George to Beans on Toast to The Bouncing Souls, not to mention reigniting their US fanbase with an epic tour across America with Flogging Molly in 2023; Skinny Lister’s formidable live rep more than proceeds them.
