Skegss Unveil New Single ‘Valhalla’

---

Australian punk rockers the Skegss have released their new single ‘Valhalla’. The single will feature on the band’s upcoming album ‘Rehearsal’.

“Well I learnt more about Valhalla through watching ‘The Last Kingdom’” Singer Ben Reed said. “and it got me brainstorming about the ideology of it, and thought how sometimes in our life we have moments that are pretty perfect—as perfect as what you’d want the idea of your own nirvana to be”

“Like when you’re having beers with your friends, having big cook ups that are real fun to share and we’ve always been lucky enough to have got to do that with (fellow scene peers) Dune Rats.”

Adding “‘Valhalla’ was based on those experiences, but it’s also kind of cryptically about flying under the radar and avoiding getting into any kind of trouble, and staying healthy enough to keep having those times as you get older throughout your life.”

‘Valhalla’ is set to be on the band’s upcoming album ‘Rehearsal’ which will be released on the 26th March via Loma Vista Recordings.

“I was pretty scared that I was going to lose my job at a brewery because I was spontaneously taking off for gig opportunities,” Reed recalls. “I remember talking to Farmer Greg, who used to come in to get the wheat malt for his cows. He used to work for 60 Minutes, filming on the helicopter and shit. He asked what I got up to and I downloaded my predicament to him and he goes: ‘Do it. This is no rehearsal. You go for that, you can do this later.’ I fully needed to hear that”
