Skint & Demoralised
October UK Tour
Skint & Demoralised to play a string of UK dates this October in support of new album, ‘This Sporting Life’
“Joyously unapologetic Northern romp” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music
“Wakefield’s most articulate (and can we say handsome?) street poet finds the romance beneath the realism…. He’ll have you feeling better in no time” NME
“Chatty, chirpy pop reminiscent of early the Streets, with nods to Squeeze, the Jam and Northern Soul…. Abbott oozed easy charm on songs backed by clattering rock and shuffling beats…. His songs are certainly fun” Lisa Verrico, The Times
Wakefield’s Skint & Demoralised are set to embark on a 15-date UK tour this October, in support of new album, ‘This Sporting Life’. The tour, which features a mixture of headline shows alongside support slots for indie heroes Art Brut and Sheffield band The Crookes, will be the final run of UK dates this year for the Wakefield 5-piece.
