Skunk Anansie Return with greatest hits and new tracks

Skunk Anansie, you know them? the band that sang "Just Because You Feel Good" and "Weep"?

They are for many I feel, a band who were always there, always the band people didn't know by name but play a song of theirs like the ones mentioned above and they would instantly know who you're talking about.

Anyway, Skunk Anansie have returned and hooray. Skunk Anansie are in my opinion hugely underrated, they offer everything you could want, they can rock your socks off with songs such as "All I want", they can appeal to your emotional side with songs such as "Weep", they can appeal to your rebelious side with songs like "Yes, It's F*cking Political!"

Yet Skunk Anansie kinda slipped under the radar after the success of Stoosh in 1996. I'm the first to admit that I'm not what you would call a fan. I didn't follow their news regularly, I didn't buy a single album of theirs shockingly! (borrowing my dads copy of Stoosh was good enough for me). Yet Stoosh is a superb rock album delivering everything I have just talked about above.

Skunk Anansie announced their split 2001, with their members all going their seperate ways. All members had agreed that they had taken the band as far as they could. Skin was certainly the busiest of all the former members. Under the same Alias she released two albums. Not forgetting about Ace and Cass however, they too had their own projects.

2009 came news of a reunion, a release of a greatest hits album with new tracks as well as a european tour.

"Basicially we have never done a greatest hits album. We have been bugged to do it for ages and ages from various places but only now does everyone have time and want to do it. It will have new songs on it and you will start to hear some amazing remixes from rock and rave to dubstep, all very exciting." - Skin

This may be your last time to see a band with something different, Skins powerful lyrics will blow you away or draw you in. With a backing band who are equally comfortable playing love ballards or heavy rock, Skunk Anansie will offer something for most rock fans.

Smashes & Thrashes is available to buy now (It's also on Spotify if you want to listen there), The band will be touring the UK and tickets are available here

Apologies by the way! I didn't realise they would be touring the UK so soon! best be very quick if you wanna catch them! I fear I've missed my chance but at least I have the music to comfort me :)
