Second single “Malthusian Dependency” is online at all platforms now, or watch the creepy music video for the song HERE .

The music video, once again captured by Jonas Em of EmVision Productions, adds to the overall edge of the song. “We chose ‘Malthusian Dependency’ as our second single because we feel it is probably one of the standout songs on the new album. It was the first song that was written off the album and was the most organic song. It spawned from Ryan and Chris hammering out the riffs down at the studio. We really spent little time refining it when we were tracking because the song felt complete when we walked in. It had...

  British rock icons Skunk Anansie have released their brand new single ‘An Artist Is An Artist’ . Their first new music in almost three years, it finds the acclaimed four-piece at the peak of their powers, and is a witty, provocative, pulsating slice of spiky, new-wave brilliance. Tackling everything from ageism to our current need for approval in the digital age, ‘An Artist Is An Artist’ somehow seems to hark back to the band’s vitriolic debut single, ‘Little Baby Swastikkka’, in terms of its confrontational quality. It also reaffirms the fact that Skunk Anansie are part of Britain’s proud agit-pop lineage that extends back to The Slits, whilst also conjuring up the wordplay of Ian Dury. Produced by David Sitek of TV On The Radio fame, known for his production work with Foals, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Santigold, Solange, Weezer and Chelsea Wolfe, ‘An Artist Is An Artist’ is the surprising first taste of what’s to come from the band in 2025. Reinvigorated after a period of introspectio...

John Rotten (aka Lydon), Paul Cook, Steve Jones and Sid Vicious were sent into venu...
