There’s no growth without reckoning. British rock icons Skunk Anansie return with a staggering new chapter in their legacy, The Painful Truth. Produced by David Sitek, the album marks a sonic resurrection which fuses raw emotion, synth-laced textures, ska rhythms, and unflinching honesty. Frontwoman Skin leads the charge with ferocity and grace, wielding vulnerability as power. This is a band unafraid to evolve, yet unapologetically themselves. As Skin puts it:
We haven’t made a great album in a long time… and that is the painful truth.
It’s not just an album—it’s a confession, a rebirth, and a battle cry all at once. The album’s new single Shame encapsulates its emotional core, a haunting yet propulsive track built on searing vocals, throbbing bass, and minimalist tension. Following tonight’s headline performance at Good Times Festival, Skunk Anansie will bring "The Painful Truth" across the UK with a series of intimate album release shows, reminding audiences why their music still shakes rooms and stirs hearts after 30 years. Join the movement as one of Britain’s most vital bands writes their boldest chapter yet. Stream the album now here!
