Beach Bros Skegss Bring the Rock on ‘Pacific Highway Music’

The duo of Ben Reed and Jonny Lani offer more sweaty-garage-facing-the-ocean swagger on their third LP

Skegss

For Skegss, nothing stands still. Now the duo of Ben Reed (vocals, guitar) and Jonny Lani (drums), the indie rockers trade one beach town (Byron Bay) for another (Los Angeles) on their third studio album.

Skegss know full well what they’re doing. That sweaty-garage-facing-the-ocean swagger is captured in “Spaceman,” with its chunky bassline and an invitation to tune in, turn it up, and trip out. Do as you’re told.
