Skinny Living have carved out a reputation as one of the UK's most soulful and uncompromising indie
bands. Their music... a raw blend of acoustic soul, alt-indie and modern grit has earned them millions
of streams and a loyal grassroots following built through word-of-mouth and unforgettable live
shows. Known for harmonies that soar and lyrics that speak to resilience, love, and hope, Skinny
Living make music that feels unpolished 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 yet
hopeful voice of Belfast-born frontman Ryan Johnston with the intricate guitar work and harmonies
of Danny Hepworth. Their name reflects their roots: "Skinny Living is a term that describes the
financial reality and lifestyle of the working class. Hard graft on a low 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 Album chart
position in 2024, Skinny Living return with their latest release, EP 9, the culmination of a plan set in
motion almost a decade ago. Inspired by Nikola Tesla's 3-6-9 theory, the trilogy was envisioned as a
creative cycle that would bring Skinny Living's first era to a close. These four songs are their most
fearless yet intimate, anthemic and sonically daring, capturing the honesty 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 with purpose, and a horizon wide open with possibility
