Folk-punk band Skinny Lister have returned with an ode to gig-going in the form of ‘Down On The Barrier’. It’s a feel-good track that allows us to indulge in bouncy rhythms, energetic, playful vocals and Celtic-inspired fiddle and acoustic guitar accompaniments. It’s filled with punky hooks and a chorus that will indeed be screamed ‘down on the barrier’. The band say: “Music is a kind of religion to many gig-goers, and in “Down On The Barrier” we’ve tried to capture that feeling. The church in this case is the venue, the sermon is the song and the preacher the artist.” Skinny Lister are touring the UK this winter and will be announcing details of their sixth album soon. -Dan Peeke.
