Skinny Lister – 38 Minutes (Xtra Mile
Skinny Lister - 38 Minutes
Recordings)
Release Date: Out Now
I have been blissfully unaware of
folk-punkers Skinny Lister until now but I can now consider myself blissfully
aware thanks to new single ’38 minutes’. To be any concerns to bed, this isn’t
a much-delayed response to So Solid Crew but is in fact a song title that
references the amount of time Hawaii was under a ballistic missile alert in
early 2018 which turned out to be ‘just a drill’. Surprisingly, the song itself
is relatively upbeat and could easily inspire a polite mosh-pit but the chorus
lyric of “This is not a drill, running for the hills” chimes out like Joe
Strummer in full flow so expect inspiration to come your way. The drums rattle
along, the vocal harmonies sound like a melodious alarm and the guitars stab
like every panicked heartbeat of a Hawaiian who thinks their island paradise is
about to become the beginning of the end of the world. Horrible story, great
song. I guess that’s what you call a silver lining.
