Skunk Anansie drop new single after it “went down a storm” on tour

Skunk Anansie have just shared another new song from next month’s The Painful Truth album.

The band’s newest effort goes by the name Animal, and it was performed ahead of release on their sold-out spring UK headline tour. “So delighted for this track to finally be released as it was a fan fave during the tour and went down a storm!” enthuses Skin. “Hope you all like it too.”

Previously speaking about The Painful Truth as a whole, Skin asserted: “I don’t care that we were big in the ’90s. Creatively it’s irrelevant because in my rock bible the first commandment states, ‘If thy rest on them laurels thy shall wither up and die artistically, musically, mentally. And then financially.’”
