A Band Built for the Stage: The Skapones – From the North East With Love
The Skapones have always been one of those bands that truly come alive on stage. While their studio recordings are sharp, soulful, and packed with energy, it’s in a live setting where the band really shines and From the North East With Love captures that spirit beautifully.
Recorded in Scotland, the album feels less like a polished live document and more like an honest snapshot of what a Skapones gig is actually like.
What makes this album work so well is how faithfully it reflects the experience of seeing The Skapones live. It doesn’t feel overly polished or sanitised; instead, it embraces the raw edges and joyful chaos that define their performances.
For those who’ve seen them before, it’s a reminder of just how good they are on stage. For anyone who hasn’t, this album comes very close to the real thing and will likely leave you wanting to catch them live as soon as possible.
The album, which is available on vinyl, contains 11 tracks of Skapones favourites from right across their albums, with a couple of crowd favourite covers thrown in for good measure.
It’s definitely worth a listen and the vinyl is a must for your collection. Get it now at the following link:
