Skinny Lister - A Matter Of Life & Love LP

A Matter of Life & Love is a raucous, heartfelt and high-energy folk-punk album from British band Skinny Lister, known for their rowdy live energy, sea-shanty spirit and communal singalong style.

The album blends folk, punk rock and traditional shanty influences, driven by acoustic instruments, driving rhythms and spirited group vocals. It captures the band’s signature balance of boisterous celebration and emotional storytelling, often shifting between party anthems and more reflective, personal moments.

Lyrically, the record explores themes of love, family, resilience and life’s unpredictability, delivered with warmth, humour and raw honesty. Its sound is both energetic and organic, designed for audience participation as much as personal listening.
