Skegss Vinyl Giveaway

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “one of the most intoxicating acts to come out of Australia in years,” Byron Bay power trio Skegss deliver their new Catherine Marks (Manchester Orchestra, PJ Harvey, The Killers) produced album “Rehearsal”. A thrill ride through the band’s laissez-faire lifestyle and sun kissed narratives of love, friendship and youthful musings, they combine surf, garage, and slacker elements to create their dynamic sound here.

Released today, the highly-anticipated album from the Byron Bay rockers offers up 13 tracks of garage rock goodness.

Described as a “thrill ride through the band’s laissez-faire lifestyle and sunkissed narratives of love, friendship and youthful musings,” the second full-length record from Skegss sees the trio create a collection of tracks that “push the band’s ethos of rolling with the punches and making it out on top.”

Now that the album is finally out in the world, we thought we would celebrate it with everyone by running a very special Skegss giveaway!

Skegss have a new single available just as they go on tour with the Gooch Palms  and the Dune Rats their nostalgic youth-drenched jam ‘Got On My Skateboard’.

It’s a lovely melancholic tribute to the regrets of not taking the opportunities you’re given, and the rewards that come with those you do. A driving rhythm denotes the relentless push of time, as the boys sum up the track in a single melancholic hook: “you’re young once and old forever”.

It’s the second single we’ve heard from their upcoming third EP, “Holiday Food”, due out on April 7th through Ratbag Records. You can get a copy of the track for free if you pre-order the EP from this Friday onwards, and it’ll be available on a special double vinyl too, as well as digitally. Until the record drops, they’ll be busy on their sold-out Australian tour with Dune Rats and The Gooch Palms throughout March.
