Skinny Lister sign to Xtra Mile
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 17 September 2014
Skinny Lister have signed a new record deal with Xtra Mile Recordings, bringing them under the same roof as Frank Turner, Chris T-T and fellow recent signees Mineral (yay Mineral!).
Xtra Mile MD Charlie Caplowe said in a statement: “At Xtra Mile we are always looking for acts that not only have great songs and are cracking live but who also work hard, want to play and tour all the time and share our DIY ethos. Skinny Lister fit that bill and we are excited to welcome them to the XMR fold”.
Meanwhile, the band’s manager Paul Carey told CMU: “Joining Xtra Mile is a great look for us… Frank Turner, Dave Hause, Beans On Toast are all bands Skinny Lister rub shoulders with whilst on the road both in the UK and the US, so its perfect that the band are now in bed with their peers at Xtra Mile, which is a quality label”.
Skinny Lister are set to release their first album for the label in the spring of next year, having released their debut, ‘Forge & Flagon’, through Sunday Best in 2012. Sooner than that, though, they are set to play the main stage at Hamburg’s Reeperbahn Festival today, and will head out on a tour of the UK in October. Look, here are the dates:
22 Oct: Manchester, Night & Day
23 Oct: Bristol, The Attic
24 Oct: Leicester, Scholar Bar
25 Oct: London, 100 Club
26 Oct: Brighton, Sticky Mike’s
