Skylights are a four-piece from York consisting of vocalist Rob Scarisbrick, guitarist Turnbull Smith, drummer Myles Soley and bassist Jonny Scarisbrick.
Having signed to 42s Records in 2020, they have been on quite the run. Let’s take a look at what they’ve been up to:

Enemies
Jagz Kooner’s devilment combines with the early looping riffs of Kasabian to create this destructive anthem.
Big resounding riffs, the fury of at their destructive best unite on this anthem.
Prepare your Blakely and preen your gazelles, you and your mates are going on a bender with these colossal riffs soundtracking every pint, every stitch up, and every failed attempt of pulling!
Darkness Falls
A change in approach for the band has harnessed their best work to date. Despite the world outside, it carries so much hope that it’s impossible not to envisage them rising to the top.
It’s a huge beautiful record. The classic Feeder song Grant Nicholas forgot to write. Dear god get this band in a studio with Youth to create more far-reaching soundscapes.
Take Me Somewhere
The day working-class rock ‘n’ roll fails to connect is the day it’s truly all over. Bristling with sex drugs and violence at every turn, this is the sound of youthful exuberance overreaching on a Saturday night.
As dreams of escape are channelled through heartfelt indie-rock, they have created yet another outlet for exhilarating rebellion.
