They’ve also shared the music video for Stranger Days, which, in classic Skegss’ fashion, features a whole lot of beer. 

“I think I wrote it a while ago, being in a mood where it’s epic to try and ride out your ambitions and try and always look back when you kook it at life, and say I will try to be better, be a better friend, better partner, get better at getting better,” says vocalist Ben Reed on the track. “Life is a changing, strange constant. But the more the days go on you get over things, so it’s about riding those feelings out when you get weirded out by the world.”

On the inspiration behind December, Reed adds: “December just happened naturally, the chord progression just rang a bit in the theme of Christmas and I must have been thinking about just how much fun it is over summer in my hometown. Having beers down at the local pub on Chrissy Eve and just seeing the crew you grew up with. It’s epic the years when everyone is in town for it, it’s not even Christmas Day, it’s just the whole summer period. And I reckon so many times my New Year’s resolution is to get healthy and probably give the booze a spell, but I go one day, it gets hell hot and I end up with a beer in my hand before I know it. So yeah, all talk every time. Almost part of the tradition.”

Skegss have also announced their first US shows in years, ahead of their massive Coachella debut on April 15 and 24 (cries in Australian). They will close off their National Rehearsal Tour next weekend, with Perth’s Astor Theatre (Feb 11) and Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall (Feb 12).
