This Song Is Definitely Not About You is the first full release from debut album, Love And Other Catastrophes, out in May 2009. The album is a rush of heavyweight guitar hooks, drive time friendly harmonies, killer choruses and a raft of memorable vocal lines that recall lost loves and criticise bitter enemies. This Song Is Definitely Not About You "is about a former friend who really let me down" tells Abbott.
Skint & Demoralised began when a 17-year-old Matt Abbott dialled into the world of spoken word performance poetry, influenced by the likes of John Cooper Clarke and Linton Kwesi Johnson. Performing short sets at local indie gigs earned him a name and a song-writing partnership was formed with producer MiNI dOG. The two started to collect a catalogue of songs; the offspring of Abbott's salt-of-the-earth zeitgeist poetry and MiNI dOG's latter-day Northern Soul-inspired grooves.
The success of early demos and a flourishing online fan network quickly alerted Radio One DJ and unsigned band champion, Steve Lamacq. Nine thousand downloads on MySpace later, Skint & Demoralised were receiving national radio airplay and were being tipped as one of the best unsigned acts of the year. In Spring 2008, Skint & Demoralised scored a deal with Mercury Records and by the Summer, they were recording at The Daptone Studios in New York City with legendary soul session band The Dap Kings.
Skint & Demoralised are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album, Love And Other Catastrophes, due for release in May 2009. Skint & Demoralised released a limited edition 7" The Thrill Of Thirty Seconds on November 17th 2008 which sold-out pre-release.
