SKINNY LIVING LET GO

British band Skinny Living show their hometown pride in a new music video for triumphant track ‘Let Go’. This is a real sing-a-long moment from the Wakefield band, perfect for the summer festivals and all-weather garden get-togethers. Speaking about the video, frontman Ryan Johnston says: It was shot in good old Wakefield, the city we met in, the place we live, full of the people that put us on their backs and helped us make something out of nothing.” From this humble perspective the band have embraced the changes that their music has brought into not only their own lives, but those of their fans. This song is an instant pick me up, it looks reality directly in the eye with an inquisitive stare to ask “will you let go?” We also love the upbeat indie rhythms and layered guitars that really chimes with the warmth of the rural blue skies and unusually sunny Wakefield town centre.
