New album Soul Boy II set to released on 18th February.
With swaggering indie anthems such as Iconic, Culture-Non Stop and Put Me Down As A Maybe, plus prestigious support slots with Kasabian and The Streets, The Skinner Brothers, spent 2021 establishing themselves at the forefront of a very exciting British rocknroll scene. This is further highlighted with The Sun, placing them at #5 in their ones to watch in 2022.
The album will feature many of the songs that have become fans favourite over the past 12 months including Low, Mountain High and an acoustic version of Away Days. This will be offset with plenty of new and unreleased songs to discover, whether it’s with the baggy, indie-dance grooves of ‘Way Too Far’, the power-pop bounce of ‘1000 Reasons Why’ or the groove and grit of ‘Give It All To Me’.
Zac adds, “We wanted to put all of the music we’ve made over the past year or so into a collection. It definitely feels like a real moment in the life of The Skinner Brothers. I’ve got a wicked band together, we’ve done some amazing gigs of our own and been out with The Streets and Kasabian, and released a whole clutch of songs that we’re fucking proud of, so we’ve put them all into ‘Soul Boy II’.
“We worked hard to make sure every single song had to fight for its place in the team and I’m looking forward to people getting the chance to listen to it all in one go. Then we go out on our biggest tour to date. Hitting as many towns and cities where people want to hear and see proper bands playing proper fucking music again. It’s time.”
Zac Skinner, wrote, produced and recorded the majority of Soul Boy II, from his home studio in Brentford.
Other collaborators included mixing from the Grammy-nominated James Krausse, and guest appearances from Rob Harvey (The Music) and Russ Pritchard(The Zutons). A bonus version of ‘Stupid Much?’ also features rhymes from rapper Teef, who previously collaborated with Tonga (Mike Skinner and Murkage Dave).
Backed by his band featuring Joe Fisher (guitar), Perry Meadowcroft (bass) and Alfie Clayton (drums), this rising rocknroll star is what the world is waiting for.
