Skäl are an alternative five piece rock band from Winsford in Cheshire and a brand new signing to Snowdonia Records, the North Wales based record label that’s home to Holy Coves, Sister Envy, Box of Trash, Subterrania. 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.
Debut track ‘All Of The People’ is an urgent and infectious introduction that leaps from the speakers with tremulous guitar hooks, grooving bass lines, and quickfire drums.
Ev Kirwan’s vocals draw you in with swaggering confidence, propelling the song into a frenetic guitar anthem. The track crescendos into a rollicking finale, featuring a fantastic carousel of guitar solos, reminiscent of the resplendent early sound of The Stone Roses, with the energy of Julian Cope’s finest moments.
It’s a frenetic union of anthemic melodies, floor filling grooves and uproarious rock, with an all for one attitude of all the best fledgling gangs possess.
Engineered, produced and mixed by Jono Tringham, the song was recorded at Allo Sounds in Studio Widnes. It’s out on Friday 30 August on Snowdonia Records.
