SKINNER IS BACK WITH CATCHY NEW ANTHEM “CALLING IN SICK”

Post-punk Irish rocker Skinner (Aaron Corcoran) can write a hook so good you’d catch it like a cold. “Calling In Sick” is gritty, innovative, and expressive, with a punch to it that kicks everything into high gear. Skinner’s unabashedness sets him apart from the crowd, insinuating that self-expression rules over everything he does.

This is a critical feature of post-punk; what good is it to fight against the establishment when all our artists are conformists? It seems a bit redundant, and Skinner is dedicated to pushing the envelope in all the right ways.

“Calling In Sick” offers an unforgettable chorus, perfectly placed distorted guitars, a loud, rumbling bassline, and drums that would get any wallflower out of the shadows. Corcoran received formal vocal training before releasing his Skinner project into the world, and it shows. His control is awe-inspiring, the markings of a legacy act in the making.

This single is perfect for anyone wanting to withdraw from the world, even if only on a “sick day.” Everything can get overwhelming quickly, and Skinner has encapsulated these feelings in “Calling In Sick.”
