The Australian pub-punkers continue to deliver their brand of jagged, raw political Aussie grit, delving deeper and leaning harder into their signature blend of Australian punk, \u2018All That We Know\u2019 solidifies Mini Skirt\u2019s position at the forefront of a socially inspired noisescape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the release of their \u2018Pottsville River\u2019 single last month, Mini Skirt are ready to lob another molten musical grenade at an unsuspecting music world with \u2018Been A While\u2019 \u2013 a hypnotic, grinding garage disturbance that in just over two minutes, manages to sound like The Fall colliding headlong with Eddy Current Suppression Ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This track was written probably four or so years ago in our first proper writing session for the album, we&#8217;d hired a hall out in the hills behind where we live and stayed there for a couple of nights in sleeping bags on the floor,\u201d remembers frontman Jacob Boylan. \u201cI&#8217;d just got back from a visit to where I grew up for a funeral and was rattled by the mindset of the mates I&#8217;d grown up with that were at the funeral. It&#8217;s a bit of a heavy one. I loved the tempo of what the lads put together and fit my headspace like a glove.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mini Skirt - Been A While (Official Audio)\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WJeXdC9KE2Y?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All grit and no glamour, Mini Skirt\u2019s noisy new body of work is underpinned by lyricist and visual artist Jacob Boylan, painting a picture of the modern social climate, every verse and chorus a well-crafted and concise assessment that has the listener replaying each line to be sure they don\u2019t miss a word. This is, as always, laid on top of the dirty, driving guitar\/bass tones and skin splitting drums that have helped Mini Skirt to develop their own sound in a heavily saturated and competitive corner of rock\u2019n\u2019roll. Paying homage to Australian pioneers such as X and Radio Birdman, Mini Skirt\u2019s sound remains raw and honest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hailing from Byron Bay in the Far North Coast of New South Wales, the four boys in Mini Skirt produce a timeless sound that\u2019s rough as guts and truly ensconced in the essence of pub rock that captures the climate of current-day Australia. Things aren\u2019t always picturesque and idyllic; the vocals are urgent and frustrated while the music has a rawness and melody, sonically painting a picture of the hope through the struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018All That We Know\u2019 lands mixed and mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Total Control) and is due to be self-released in Australia and via London-based label and gig promoters Bad Vibrations in the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-order \u2018All That We Know\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/miniskirt666.lnk.to\/ATWK\">HERE<\/a>:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW ALBUM \u2018ALL THAT WE KNOW\u2019 TO BE RELEASED NOVEMBER 14TH VIA BAD VIBRATIONS PRE-ORDER HERE: Five long years since their debut album \u2018Casino\u2019 snuck into the ears of punk enthusiasts around the world, Mini Skirt\u2019s second full length album, \u2018All That We Know\u2019, is now ready to hurl at the world.
