SKINNY LISTER – SONGS FROM THE YONDER – ALBUM REVIEW
Two years ago we said that “‘Shanty Punk’ is the most ‘Skinny Lister’ Skinny Lister album that the band have made”, and that remains true. Following on exactly where ‘Shanty Punk’ left off though is the latest showcase of what makes the band so loveable – ‘Songs From The Yonder’.
Their seventh album is another rousing collection of the truest sounding Skinny Lister songs as the band doubles down on their signature rabble. Songs of drinking and travelling the world dominate the landscape again but with their ability to inspire hope and perseverance shining through.
This is perhaps best demonstrated on their superb single, ‘Plough On’ which encourages us to “…plough on through the fear and now and then the tears…” Given the current world climate and constant shower of brown stuff that we all face, that message is pretty spot on!

The band have always had an enate ability to stir something inside you and that is just reason why the band have garnered themselves such a strong following. Another reason of course are their rowdy live shows and you just know that these songs will sound great live.
There are more tender moments on the album too, such as the delicate ‘Everything’ and the emotion stirring ‘Glass To Our Days’. The songwriting skills of the group continue to herald rewards which will be well received by that dedicated fanbase.
All in all though this is another set of songs to drink along, sing along and dance along to. This is classic Skinny Lister and nobody would want anything else from these underground heroes. So just turn it up and enjoy!
