Track Of The Day: Skanger, ‘Change The World’

Dublin Trio Skanger have put out the electrifying ‘Change The World’, another single hailing from their upcoming debut album Love & Violence, set for release in Spring 2025.

With glistening synths and pulsating bass riffs, the track has an undeniable retro-futuristic feel and an incredibly upbeat and dance-inducing energy.

Despite its mournful theme, admiring a time when music had a profound effect on culture and society, and could actually be world-changing, the track is lined with hopefulness and fun, thanks to its major chord progression and Mark Healy’s atmospheric vocal performance.

Speaking of the inspiration behind the track, Healy comments: “I accidentally heard an interview on Irish talk radio where a man was talking about a letter he found while clearing out his late father’s house.

“The letter was a declaration that prior to the birth of his son, his father had been someone different, and he had led an alternate life that was meaningful and worthwhile to the world. I found this heartbreakingly sad. I decided to write my own letter but in a positive hopeful way by writing ‘Change The World’”

Hailing from Dublin, Skanger is made up of Mark Healy on lead vocals and guitars, Terry Hackett on drums and prolific producer Ingmar Kiang on bass.
