 Lincoln’s rising indie trio The Rills share their brand new single,
‘Skint Eastwood’, the band’s first release via their freshly inked
deal with Nice Swan Records (home to early releases from
Sports Team, Fur, FEET and more).
 Raucous and whip-smart in equal measure, ‘Skint Eastwood’
tells the story of local outcasts, distant in their family lives and
chastised by their communities.
 “Skint Eastwood is a Lincoln loner. He’s a BMX bandit who lurks
the streets for affection, be it by begging, stealing or borrowing,”
explains frontman Mitch Spencer. “Suburban life gives way to
people like Skint Eastwood, kids with nothing but the change in
their pockets and the rucksack on their backs - cycling into
oblivion as much as they are crying out for help. There’s
something familiar about that old cowboy cliche; a hard exterior
crossed with a soft and vulnerable interior is easily used to
describe the lost boys and girls of our generation.”
 If you can take the band out of Lincoln, then you can’t take the
keen eye for wayward characters and hometown anti-heroes
out of the band, and nor should you want to. Having spent the
past 18 months cultivating a fervent online following (their jokefilled
TikTok currently stands at a not-too-shabby 4 million likes)
and huge performances at Reading and Leeds Festival under
their belts, now The Rills are ready to pick up that mantle and
run with it.
 The band will hit the road with Bloxx this Autumn before a
headline tour in December and culminating in a homecoming
show at Lincoln’s The Scene.
 Armed with a forthcoming debut EP full of biting, streamlined
indie - all taught, propulsive rhythms and witty, acerbic vocals -
the omnipresent backbone of small-town living lies front and
centre in everything that The Rills create, coupled with the
driving ambition to make something bigger of themselves that
rings in every cutthroat riff.
 Available to independent retailers on 7” vinyl.
