Five piece Cheshire alternative rock band Skäl release their raucous debut single, ‘All Of The People’, out this Friday.
‘All Of The People’ is an urgent, infectious and exciting debut track from the band. It bursts out the speakers on a wave of tremulous guitar hooks, grooving bass lines and quickfire drums. Ev Kirwan’s vocals hook you in with a swaggering confidence as the song spirals into a frenetic guitar anthem and a rollicking crescendo with fantastic carousel of guitar solos.
The track is reminiscent of the resplendent early sound of The Stone Roses, with the band calling it a “cross between The Verve and The Replacements.” It’s a frenzied union of anthems melodies, floor filling grooves and uproarious rock, with an all for one attitude all the best fledgling gangs possess.
Skäl hail from Winsford in Cheshire and they are made up of Ev Kirwan on vocals, Jack Enty on guitar, Darcy Smith on guitar and backing vocals, Adam Latham on bass and Tom Giltrow on drums and backing vocals. The band are a brand new signing to North Wales based Snowdonia Records, home to Holy Coves, Sister Envy, Box of Trash and Subterrania. The group cite Smashing Pumpkins, The Verve, The Replacements, and Echo & The Bunnymen, amongst others, as influences.
Skäl have a knack for melodic shots of rock songs and a burning ambition to be heard by as many people as possible. With a string of releases and shows in the works, their unmissable debut single ‘All Of The People’ is a statement of intent.
‘All Of The People’ is out on Friday 30 August 2024. Listen here.
