“Don’t Fall Back” is a raw confrontation with self-sabotage, stagnation, and the quiet ways we trap ourselves in familiar patterns. The song moves from painful self-awareness to urgency and defiance, capturing the moment when excuses run out and action becomes unavoidable. Breaking the cycle isn’t about perfection or willpower alone—it’s about honesty, momentum, and realizing you don’t have to fight your way out by yourself.

Their self-released EPs Skeletons in the Closet (2018) and Under Skinned (2022) established their distinctive sonic identity, earning recognition from independent media with standout tracks like “Elephant’s Paw”, “Godlike” and “Heavy Feet, Thin Ice”. Skunk Oil recently completed recording their debut full-length album at the legendary Sunset Sound Studios, now in post-production.
