Devil, the Heart & the Fight

The wide-eyed, rump-shaking world of Folk Punk heroes **Skinny Lister** is broadening by the record. Previous albums sent them reeling into the hearts of America, the UK, Germany and Japan - on headline tours and stints with Frank Turner, Flogging Molly and the Vans Warped Tour - wherever they play their lusty shanties, Punk Folk roar-alongs and crazed whirls of love, fighting and booze, you'll still find them out dancing with the crowd. If their folk debut celebrated the sticks and their punkier second blinked in the bright lights of London, their rocked-up third, *'TheDevil, The Heart & The Fight'* is like Skinny's previous albums gone backpacking; expanding its horizons, full of adventure, discovering itself and doing things it regrets in the morning. Have heart, ye devils, join the fight.
