Hailing from Byron Bay in the Far North Coast of New South Wales, the four boys in Mini Skirt produce a timeless sound that’s rough as guts and truly ensconced in the essence of pub rock that captures the climate of current-day Australia. Things aren’t always picturesque and idyllic; the vocals are urgent and frustrated while the music has a rawness and melody, sonically painting a picture of hope through the struggle.

Five long years since their debut album Casino snuck into the ears of punk enthusiasts around the world, Mini Skirt’s second full-length album, All That We Know, was released at the tail end of 2025 to much acclaim, and the band are now finally poised to hit EU and UK stages for a full tour this coming May.

Before that, though, the band have released a new single cut from the album titled “Mud,” with a video created by Ben Portnoy from fellow Australian pub punk thrashers C.O.F.F.I.N. that perfectly captures the band’s chaotic, ragged punk rock charm.

All grit and no glamour, Mini Skirt’s noisy new body of work is underpinned by lyricist and visual artist Jacob Boylan, painting a picture of the modern social climate, every verse and chorus a well-crafted and concise assessment that has the listener replaying each line to be sure they don’t miss a word. This is, as always, laid on top of the dirty, driving guitar/bass tones and skin-splitting drums that have helped Mini Skirt to develop their own sound in a heavily saturated and competitive corner of rock’n’roll. Paying homage to Australian pioneers such as X and Radio Birdman, Mini Skirt’s sound remains raw and honest.
