'Porcelain' is a funky laid-back indie tune about obsession and self-representation. It's a tongue-in-cheek view on the discrepancy between reality and depiction. 'Porcelain' is my forth single in 2020 and will also be feature on my upcoming EP 'Ever Present Past'.

THE SKINNER BROTHERS - ‘Away Days’ - Blaggers Records - Impact 24th July

FFO - Jamie T, Yungblud, Rat Boy, Do Nothing, Slowthai -  ISRC - GB-LLT-20-08878 

London based four piece The Skinner Brothers release their new single ‘Away Days’ all digital formats via Blaggers Records with digital distribution by Horus Music. Radio impact is 24th July. 

‘Away Days’ is an ode to missing your real passion - in the lads case, that’s football mania and is inspired by the build up to an away game during the football season, a feeling which so many are missing during lockdown’s suspension of the football season, and its subsequent return behind closed doors. However the song’s sentiments translate just as well towards all weekend activities, everything that’s not there anymore, day trips to the theme park, days out at the beach, and even time spent dodging the seagulls scoffing chips whilst drinking in the sunshine. The relatability of the song is truly universal to the times that we currently live in, especially during lockdown and self isolation periods, with the band saying themselves that shared spirit is what matters the most going on to say, “The best thing about football to me is bringing people together, the sense of family and friendship that comes with being together home or away.”

Frontman and songwriter Zachary Charles Skinner, stated “The song arose from my love of football culture, I'd been wanting to write a song that captures the essence of match-day for a long while and with "Away Days" I feel I've done it. The song takes inspiration from the jukebox classics played in the pubs, along with the fashion togetherness that the football brings!" Football culture and guitar music go hand in hand, and the band state that it is one of their passions, and indeed influences their fashion sense. The band feel that the togetherness of football fans encourages camaraderie, which is desperately needed by the public during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. 

With the Premiership and Championship having resumed behind closed doors, he feels there's a similarity a lot of bands will connect with, "That's going to be tough for them I assume. I can only relate to playing a festival or gig in the tent with no background noise or cheering etc. I think it will be strange for them as they won't have that extra push. It’s going to be difficult for all teams losing the advantage of a strong home and away support. Often it’s the difference, so it’s going to be interesting to see who takes advantage in these next few games." 

Having formed in 2018, the band quickly gained a loyal following. After touring with The Libertines, The Skinner Brothers went on to release their debut single ‘Watchu’, which has since received over 475,000 Spotify streams. Another milestone for the band soon followed, as they supported Rat Boy at Camden’s Electric Ballroom. The Skinner Brothers devoted fan base has grown significantly over the past 12 months, particularly on Spotify. The band have achieved over 1,300,000 million streams on the platform, and this is due in part to their inclusion on editorial playlist such as Fresh Finds, Hot New Bands, The Punk List. 

It’s hard to pinpoint The Skinner Brothers to a specific genre, as the band has an eclectic sound which draws influences from many styles including Indie Rock, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Punk.  Their line up is: Zachary Charles Skinner vocals & guitars, Chris Humpries lead guitar, Oliver New bass, Alfie Clayton drums. 

Airplay: Phil Taggart, BBCR1; John Kennedy, Radio X. BBC Music Introducing, London; Hoxton Radio; Sonic Sundays; Soundlab Radio: Playlisting; Valley 89.5 FM, Australia, Away Days Radio.  Spotify: Fresh Finds, Hot New Bands, The Punk List - over 1.3 Million Streams.
