The South-coast four-piece Twin Skeletons have spent the last couple of years quietly (and not so quietly) building a reputation for all-or-nothing live shows, with their latest single, “Useless,” becoming a fan favourite long before release. After making the rounds at support slots, tours, and festival sets since early 2024, the track arrives fully road-tested and very much worth the wait.
After years of tweaking, refining, and building anticipation around upcoming singles, the band returned to the studio with their longtime producer to give “Useless” its final form. Sonically, “Useless” trades some of the band’s sharper edges for something darker and more restrained, pulling influence from the likes of Tigercub, Loathe and Spiritbox.
Lyrically, the track digs even deeper. Written during a period when singer Phoebe was grappling with burnout and the pressure to maintain relationships, “Useless” explores the uncomfortable space between regret and realisation, when effort becomes performative and fixing surface-level issues only highlights something deeper beneath the surface. It’s heavy, introspective territory, but Twin Skeletons balance it with a hooky chorus that fits their vibe perfectly.
“Useless” might lean into a darker mood with this new release, but it’s another confident step for a band clearly thinking bigger than the venues they’re currently playing. And if this is what’s beneath the bones, Twin Skeletons are only just getting started.
