Five long years since their debut album, Casino, snuck into the ears of punk enthusiasts around the world, Mini Skirt’s second full length, All That We Know, is now ready to be hurled into the world on November 14th via Bad Vibrations. The Australian Pub-Punkers continue to deliver their brand of jagged, raw political Aussie grit, delving deeper and leaning harder into their signature blend of Australian Punk, All That We Know solidifies Mini Skirt’s position at the forefront of a socially inspired noisescape. Their new single, Pottsville River, is a taste of what’s to come from the album. Leaning hard into the teeth-kicking brand of Pub-Punk they have become known for, Pottsville River holds you under water for the whole three minutes-something and only lets you up for a breath when the song’s done. 

All grit and no glamour, Mini Skirt’s noisy new body of work is underpinned by lyricist and visual artist Jacob Boylan, painting a picture of the modern social climate, every verse and chorus a well-crafted and concise assessment that has the listener replaying each line to be sure they don’t miss a word. This is, as always, laid on top of the dirty, driving guitar and bass tones and skin splitting drums that have helped Mini Skirt to develop their own sound in a heavily saturated and competitive corner of rock’n’roll. The four boys in Mini Skirt produce a timeless sound that’s rough as guts and truly ensconced in the essence of pub rock that captures the climate of current-day Australia. Things aren’t always picturesque and idyllic; the vocals are urgent and frustrated while the music has a rawness and melody, sonically painting a picture of the hope through the struggle.
