Skylights Reunite for brand new single "Fever" (out 29 May) || plus, Live Dates

One of Yorkshire’s best-kept-secrets - SKYLIGHTS - are back with the colossal new single “Fever”. “Fever” is the sound of a festival-ready banger arriving with impact. With the tenacity of Oasis, The Verve, and Shed Seven, the four-piece return with a song loaded like a freight train of hulking riffs, anthemic chorus hooks, and soaring guitar solos.

A band who have more than proven their aptitude for nailing those big outdoor shows alongside fellow Yorkshire legends Shed Seven, Sherlocks and Pigeon Detectives; their latest single finds them ramping up the hype for a golden Summer to come and some of their biggest headline shows yet. “Sit back, kick back feeling fine, sipping on a beer in the summer time” urges vocalist Rob Scazz, clearly relishing the moment like that first cold pint in a festival field.

From its Billy Duffy (Cult) or John Squire (Stone Roses) tinted guitar lines to its Motorik drum chug, “Fever” is a feel-good, fuzzed-up, tub-thumping anthem designed for prime crowd reaction and destined to get it.

About the track Rob of Skylights states:

“It’s an upbeat summer song for driving around on a sunny day or having a beer.”

Recorded at Young Thugs Studio in Southbank, the track will be released digitally and limited physical vinyl release on 29th May through the Vinyl Eddie record shop in York.

Initially formed in York in 2008, Skylights are Rob Scazz (Vocals), Turnbull Smith, (Guitar), Jonny Scazz (Bass) and Myles Soley (Drums).

With backing from Radio X’s John Kennedy, the band have a live reputation as one of the most exciting rock bands in the UK and a growing, loyal fan base to match.

No strangers to their local countrymen in Yorkshire, Skylights have gained fans in local figures like Leeds United legends Gary Kelly and Geatano Berardi, 2x IBF Featherweight World Champion Josh Warrington, actor Ralph Ineson and Castleford Rugby player Ogi Holmes, as well as praise from indie heavyweights Shed Seven and The Pigeon Detectives.

And the word is getting out. Not only have the band appeared on Soccer AM, playing live and being interviewed, they also played a huge indoor arena show a huge gig at the First Direct Arena Leeds for the Olympics Homecoming; plus have sold out headline shows in the UK including the 2500 cap Leeds 02 Academy, York Barbican and Aberdeen Beach Ballroom.

Releasing their acclaimed debut Album 'What You Are' in 2022, the band smashed into the official top 20 sales chart and broke the UK top 100.

Fully independent, self-funded and self managed, after a brief hiatus Skylights are back and firing on all cylinders. Their new single “Fever” arrives on 29 May, with a series of huge shows later in the Autumn.
