We are very pleased to announce a brand new Xtra Mile compilation - featuring a veritable feast of choice cuts from our label’s 16-year existence - available on limited edition cassette at Lost Evenings IV and our digital shop here.

Xtra Mile High Club XIII: Zero Gravity Hangs features 27 songs from artists old and new, from Frank Turner to BERRIES, Skinny Lister to Guise, Million Dead to PET NEEDS, and Chris T-T to deux furieuses. We’ve got lilting folk, ferocious punk, pop-strewn indie and throat-tearing metal all crammed onto two sides of C90. We are proud of just how much this showcases the breadth and depth of our past and present and points ever-so promisingly towards our lovely future.

You’ll also get to hear some of these bands live at Lost Evenings IV. We’ve put an asterisk next to those ones so when you pick up your cassette next week, you can seek those out especially. We’ve written a guide to them here too, so do take a look at that.

Skinny Lister release fifth album 'A Matter of Life & Love' on 22 October 2021 // Listen to 'Damn the Amsterdam' featuring The Longest Johns // Video premiere 7 September 2021

Skinny Lister release their fifth studio album ,‘A Matter Of Life & Love’, on 22 October 2021 via Xtra Mile Recordings. Preorder the album here on CD, white vinyl* and digital download.

Listen to new single ‘Damn the Amsterdam’ featuring The Longest Johns. Look out for the video premiere on Tuesday 7 September via the band’s YouTube channel.

A band who shantied long before TikTok ticked, ‘Damn The Amsterdam’ harks a return to the original rootsy Skinny Lister sound. Written about the famous Hastings shipwreck, it’s a straight-up sea shanty which echoes the style and stomp of ‘John Kanaka’ from their first album ‘Forge & Flagon’.

With especially salty guest harmonies coming courtesy of folk pin-ups The Longest Johns, Skinny Lister can confirm that the band will also be joining them on their UK headline tour throughout November and December. Full dates are below.

Written over the past 18 months, Skinny Lister’s new album ‘A Matter Of Life & Love’ is a collection of true stories and feelings that have really mattered to them.

While the album contains all the typically enlivening tales from the road that have made Skinny Lister the stuff of festival legend, from disturbing touring tales of being pulled over by Bavarian police (‘Bavaria Area’) to full throttle airport drinking songs (‘Breakfast At Heathrow’), dig deeper and you’ll find a record that might well be their most personal and profound yet.

Centrepiece and title-track, ‘A Matter Of Life & Love’, is the very heart of the album. Crystallising the record’s core themes with a Madness-esque playfulness, it’s a poppy and poignant reminder to recognise the moments in life that really matter, however trivial or throwaway they may seem at the time. “It’s a sentiment likely borne out of those months of enforced limited social contact endured over the past few months,” says vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Dan Heptinstall. And one not likely to be taken for granted by anyone, or any band for that matter, any time soon.

The Skinnies’ admirable ‘in this together’ ethos is echoed through stirring anthems such as ‘Shout It Out’ and ‘Shoulder to Shoulder’, which offer rousing singalongs primed and ready for a new age of live music. Skinny Lister’s adept ability for a heartstring-plucking ballad also remains evident in tracks such as ‘Embers’, an elegant folky composition led by Lorna and destined to make Skinny fans everywhere crumble. Elsewhere, the Celtic-tinged, string-adorned gem ‘Bonny’s Eyes’ offers a touching tribute to the wonder of being a new parent.

Bringing together all their influences and styles, from ska to rock and from folk-punk to traditional shanty, throughout its 12 tracks ‘A Matter Of Life & Love’ is in many ways the distillation of everything that has seen the world fall for Skinny Lister’s charms. And yet, as the first record to be entirely written, produced, recorded and mixed by Skinny Lister themselves, it finds a band with a bolstered sense of confidence and a gleeful skip in their stride. Proving a unique opportunity for the band to create, experiment, and hone music of their own volition, it’s a process that finds a band in liberated form and realising the full Skinny Lister vision as they have always intended it.

Opening-up about recording the new record and what to expect, Dan says:

“It’s great to have made it to album number five, and we can’t wait to see what further adventures lay in store for us as we get it out there on the road and into the world! This has been a very liberating experience, not only allowing us to employ all that we’ve learnt from the top producers of our previous four albums, but also truly realise our own vision of the tracks. We’re very proud of the results.”

An album about camaraderie and companionship through thick and thin, and cherishing the simple things freedom brings, ‘A Matter Of Life & Love’ finds a band brimming with a zest for life, love, music and good times.

* Please note that vinyl preorders will be ready and shipped from April 2022.

BERRIES release new single 'The Expert' on flexi disc 3 September 2021 // Featured on new KillRockStars compilation covering Sleater-Kinney // Listen to 'Dance Song '97'

BERRIES release a flexi disc double A-side containing new single ‘The Expert’ and a cover of Sleater-Kinney’s ‘Dance Song ‘97’ on 3 September 2021. Buy it here.

The Sleater-Kinney cover celebrates the 30th anniversary celebration of legendary label Kill Rock Stars (KRS) and features on the digital-only compilation Stars Rock Kill (Rock Stars), a compilation of 40 bands and artists covering tracks from the extensive KRS catalogue. Buy the compilation here.

Speaking on their involvement with the compilation, BERRIES say: “It was such a big moment for us when Kill Rock stars asked if we would like to record a cover for their 30th anniversary. We are so excited to have the opportunity. They have launched so many of our favourite bands’ careers including Sleater-Kinney, who have always been such a huge inspiration.”

Three minutes of BERRIES’ trademark off-kilter guitars, softened through a more poppy lens than we’ve come to expect from the three-piece, it’s both true to the original while maintaining BERRIES’ angular and occasionally abrasive nature.

Steadily, BERRIES’ profile has been rising, and it’s not just offstage that the band have impressed. Working regularly with national promoters DHP, recent notable shows include Cherry Glazerr and Porridge Radio at Electric Brixton, Ex Hex at Village Underground and supporting Frank Turner in Liverpool, not to mention a Radio X Live Session for respected DJ John Kennedy. BERRIES recently added to this with a headline show at The Grace above the legendary Garage in London, as well as a show supporting Frank Turner at Hull Zebedees Yard with label mates Skinny Lister, PET NEEDS and Guise on 3 September and a slot at Frank Turner’s latest instalment of his award-winning festival, Lost Evenings IV, at Roundhouse London on 19 September.

BERRIES are:

Holly – Guitar/Vocals
Lauren - Bass
Lucie – Drums

Tour Dates:

03 September – Zebedees Yard, Hull (Gathering Show w/Frank Turner, Skinny Lister, Guise, PET NEEDS)
19 September – Lost Evenings IV Festival, Roundhouse, London (supporting Frank Turner).

Johnny Lloyd new single 'Joypolis' out 2 July // Listen now // Taken from 'La La La' out 16 July 2021

Revealing a more electronic side to any of his previous work, Johnny Lloyd releases ‘Joypolis’ as the next single from his third solo album ‘La La La’ out 16 July 2021. Preorder the album here and listen to ‘Joypolis’ below or stream it on your preferred service here.

You can stream ‘Joypolis’ on your preferred service here. A chillwave-tinged track sequined with birdsong samples, fluttering synthesisers and vocoded vocals, ‘Joypolis’ sees Johnny making a natural progression into the worlds of Washed Out, The Postal Service or Toro y Moi.

Through sage advice and tense response, the song unwinds a narrative of a complex and enigmatic romance told through an imagined conversation between two characters. As constructive sentiments like “You’ve got to help yourself, you can’t just keep it inside” are met with blunt refusals (“I don’t need your help”), ‘Joypolis’ constructs a vivid and evocative snapshot of a relationship slipping away and the wave of feelings that come with it.

Like a love song from the distant future, its pulsing arrangements, inherent mystery, and dopamine-laced choral refrain, “love is a chemical and it’s rushing in my blood”, will invite repeated listens.

‘Joypolis’ is the second single to be taken from ‘La La La’, Johnny’s third official album and second record of 2021, following the soundtrack for ‘Rare Beasts’ (created with Nathan Coen). The latest album will feature 14 brand new tracks, produced by Max Clilverd, Johnny and Nathan Coen and further mixed and mastered by Frank Turner.

Skinny Lister release new single 'Bavaria Area' on 18 June 2021 // Watch video // UK tour dates 2021 // Less Than Jake and Germany tour dates 2022

Skinny Lister are releasing a brand new single, ‘Bavaria Area’ on 18 June 2021. Watch the video below and you can stream the single here.

A joyful burst of ska-punk meets new-wave energy, the London sextet are back with a track that is primed for crowd pogoing madness as they anticipate an extensive run of live gigs for 2021-22.

Joining the bill of Xtra Mile Recordings’ ‘The Gathering’ festival shows from June 2021, the folk/punk favourites will also be supporting Frank Turner at his Lost Evenings IV festival at the Roundhouse, London before headlining their own UK tour later this year. Offering ample support to ska stalwarts Less Than Jake for their huge UK dates in 2022, Skinny Lister will also be reconnecting with their friends in Germany during a string of headline shows in the country next year.

With a reputation for one of the most notorious live shows on the circuit, the Skinnies have been positively itching to get back out on the road. And their new single, ‘Bavaria Area’ finds them reminiscing about the moments good, bad and ugly that come with the rock’n’roll touring lifestyle.

Reflecting on one particularly hair-raising instance that inspired their latest single, Dan from Skinny Lister says:

“Firstly, it’s worth noting that we love Bavaria. It’s a stunning part of the world and our fans and shows there are some of the best, as they are across the whole of Germany!

“However, for some reason, when touring the area, we often seem to attract the unwanted attention of Bavarian police. ‘Bavaria Area’ is a tongue-in-cheek recollection of one of our many experiences of being pulled over. On this particular occasion we were ominously led off the road into a large garage, the shutter was brought down behind us and we were thoroughly quizzed and searched. Sniffer dogs were even brought out to check if we were carrying any dodgy substances. Fortunately, we weren’t.

“It was a slightly unnerving experience, not to mention an unscheduled delay as we were heading to our next show! And to top it off, after only 15 minutes down the road after being allowed to continue, we were again pulled over by different officers, who alarmingly pulled on rubber gloves as they approached our van! Anyway – we got a song out of it so not all bad. And we can’t wait to return to Bavaria when we hit Munich as part of our German Tour in June 2022. Prost!”

Arriving as their first new music of 2021, “Bavaria Area” follows recent single, ‘Shout It Out’ - released in December 2020 - and the band’s special fifth anniversary re-issue of their breakthrough album, ‘Down On Deptford Broadway’ (buy on yellow vinyl here).

Now, with the promise of new shows, festivals and new material all on the horizon; Skinny Lister are raring to get out and do it all again.

Join Skinny Lister at these dates and venues.
