Description
'A Matter Of Life & Love' is the fifth studio album from Skinny Lister. Written, produced, recorded and mixed all by the band, the album is a collection of songs that bring together a range of styles from ska to rock and from folk punk to a straight up original sea shanty.

SINGLE 2 - 'A Matter Of Life & Love' - 1st October 2021

Spotify: Happy Folk, New Punk Tracks, Fresh Folk, Punk Unleashed, Feel Good Friday, New Music Friday, Ska Anthems
Apple: New Music Daily for 3 songs.
