The Skinner Brothers - Take you down to 'Lonedon' town!!!
A new EP and single for The Skinner Brothers!!!
The Skinner Brothers will release their new single ‘Lonedon’ on August 19th. ‘Lonedon’ is the title track from their new EP which follows on September 23rd, and is the first new music from the rising Rock 'n' Rollers since their critically acclaimed album ‘Soul Boy II’. Along with bands Regent, Idles, The Skinner Brothers have been making waves in the British Rock / Punk scene. Bringing their old fashioned mixed with modern brand of Retro Rock sound to all around the country, The Skinner Brothers have really been making waves.
‘Lonedon’ represents a confident evolution from The Skinner Brothers. Mainman Zac Skinner’s rasping vocal now possesses the soul to match its grit, a blend heightened by a more groove orientated approach to the instrumentation. The result feels like a missing link between underground Brit Indie Rock and the sound of Stax Records. Meanwhile, Zac’s lyrics capture the essence of present day London, expressing the paranoia and alienation of a loner in the big city. Its narrative reflects Zac’s own experience of moving to London as a teenager with the aim of making his mark in music.
The title track sets the scene for the rest of the ‘Lonedon’ EP, which captures The Skinner Brothers’ growing versatility. The second song ‘Mellow’ feels like a fresh take on the kind of emotive, anthemic slowburners that Oasis and The Verve are renowned for, while ‘Loaded Gun’ fires ragged, Punky riffs over hip-hop inspired beats. And the final track delivers another surprise as ‘Make It Count’ merges summery Psychedelia with Lo-Fi Pop.
As we’ve come to expect, the ‘Lonedon’ EP was entirely written, produced and recorded by Zac in his home studio in Brentford. Today also sees the pre-order launch for the first vinyl release of ‘Soul Boy II’.
