Skiving

Skiving have carved out a distinctive niche as a South London post-punk band, previously known to fans as Human Resources. Their deliberate fusion of angular rhythms and incisive lyricism is exemplified in their 2023 EP, Malperfect. Tracks like "I Love Football," "Kinshasa Shuffle," "Ode to the Apostate," and "Unverifiable Religious Experience Blues" demonstrate a band unafraid to interrogate the everyday with wit and sharp musical sensibility.

Live music aficionados will appreciate Skiving’s presence on carefully curated bills. In January 2027, they are set to perform at the iconic TROXY in London as part of DAVID BYRNE'S NIGHT, appearing alongside an ambitious roster and supporting the headliner, 1000 RABBITS. Sharing the stage with acts such as Goat Girl, English Teacher, and The Pogues, their commitment to the vibrant UK live music scene is clear.

Whether you’re a long-term devotee of post-punk or simply seek fresh voices in British live music, Skiving offer a compelling reason to keep an eye on the capital’s dynamic concert calendar. Follow Skiving to stay updated on their gigs and immerse yourself in their evolving soundscape.
