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.
Driven by resilience and creative grit, Skunk Oil embodies the relentless spirit of the underdog, fueled by a hunger to grow and connect with audiences. With high-energy performances at iconic venues like Whisky a Go-Go and the Viper Room, they bring a much-needed freshness to the rock scene.
