Skunk Anansie have shared the video for their powerful new single ‘This Means War’, which features live footage of the iconic rock group on stage at Pol’and’Rock festival last year where they headlined to a huge crowd of over 850,000 fans. The track is a super-charged, rallying anthem with vocal powerhouse Skin’s fiery and provocative lyrics commanding you to sit up and listen.

The video premiered exclusively with Kerrang where Skin explained, “We wrote this track just before we went on tour last summer, it totally stood out as a fan favourite and never left the setlist. So we’re really happy to release a finished version produced by the magnificent Tom Dalgety. Enjoy!”

It follows last year’s single ‘What You Do For Love’, which was the band’s first instalment of new music in three years and garnered airplay on BBC Radio 2. Both tracks will be made available as a limited run ‘collector’s edition’ double A-side vinyl 7” in April, with pre-orders available via https://skunkanansie.tmstor.es/
