Led by Richard Jobson of the Skids, The Armory Show release brand new album “Dead Souls” with Last Night From Glasgow in early 2025 . Against all odds, Jobson had managed to very credibly pick up where the band had left off. Now we see that the follow up group that Jobson had formed in the aftermath of the Skids with an even more iconic is having a new album ready for early 2025.
The band was The Armoury Show, but now that they’ve been rebuilt with an all new engine and chassis, Jobson has opted to change the spelling to Armory Show. He claims that it was his intention all along but was outvoted in the 1980s band for the earlier spelling.
Like with Skids, this will be a case of Jobson building an entirely new band to carry on the mission of the group. Armory Show were actually resurrected as a live act in 2019 with Jobson filling the group’s slots with guitars by Rory Cowieson and Nick Young from the Dumferline band Domiciles. The rhythm section for those shows was Nick Hernandez and Gil Allan, who went on to become the new engine room for Skids as well.
Since data is so thin on the ground at this moment, we can only assume that the album line up from those 2019 live shows have the same musicians in place in Armory Show as well. As with the last Skids album, The label Last Night From Glasgow will be releasing the new Armory Show album in early 2025. It’s called “Dead Souls” and all we really know about it right now
