Skinny Living

Skinny Living have carved out a reputation as one of the UK’s most soulful anduncompromising indie bands. Their music… a raw blend of acoustic soul, alt-indie andmodern grit has earned them millions of streams and a loyal grassroots following builtthrough word-of-mouth and unforgettable live shows. Known for harmonies that soar andlyrics that speak to resilience, love, and hope, Skinny Living make music that feelsunpolished and deeply human, with songs that linger long after the last note fades.Formed after a chance meeting at an open mic in Wakefield, the band unites the haunted yethopeful voice of Belfast-born frontman Ryan Johnston with the intricate guitar work andharmonies of Will Booth and Danny Hepworth. Their name reflects their roots: “Skinny Livingis a term that describes the financial reality and lifestyle of the working class. Hard graft on alow income with a lust for life, passion for family and an optimistic attitude about the future.”After the success of their album ‘Day By Day’ that claimed the UK No. 1 Independent Albumchart position in 2024, Skinny Living return with their latest release, EP 9, the culmination ofa plan set in motion almost a decade ago. Inspired by Nikola Tesla’s 3-6-9 theory, the trilogywas envisioned as a creative cycle that would bring Skinny Living’s first era to a close. Thesefour songs are their most fearless yet intimate, anthemic and sonically daring, capturing thehonesty and harmony that have defined the band while pointing toward evolution.With EP 9, Skinny Living stand at once in closure and renewal… a chapter ending withpurpose, and a horizon wide open with possibility.
