Additional InformationAlthough they've settled into their sound with their most self-assured songwriting yet, this album adeptly reflects the tension in the band's surroundings.
Reviews5 stars out of 5 -- "The sonic shifts on ‘Skinty Fia’ are subtly experimental; the album is the sound of a band stretching into new shapes.", "The punk band’s third album homes in on the experience of being an Irish person living in England -- and all the trials, tribulations, and culture clashes inherent in that reality. It’s also just a straight-ahead, powerful rock & roll record...", "The Dublin fivesome deal in the kind of post-punk fatalism that any fan of Joy Division, Wire, and Gang of Four will recognize.", "SKINTY's urgent churn of spiraling vocals and serrated guitars -- which debuted at no. 1 in the U.K. -- blew the cobwebs off a moribund genre dominated by corpo-rock and tired retro revivalists."
