Female-fronted punk-rockers Skux share a new single and video called Painted Blank which premiered on Nylon last night. This track follows infectious punk banger Kudis the title track for Skux's forthcoming debut EP due August 23rd.

Lead singer, Ayisha Jaffer shares insight to the new single, "Painted Blank is the relationship closure song that your brain was culminating but your mouth didn’t let you say or perhaps your emotions spat them out in a different, more destructive way. This track demands reflection and accountability from partners of the past who would prefer to “click delete” and paint all of their memories blank. In the same breath, I also make it clear that the end does not mean that you have any less value or power, nor do you have to lose the memories you wanted to keep. When all is done and dusted then you dust that dirt off your shoulders and keep the rest."

Watch the video for Painted Blank below - a visual rollercoaster to take you through the song of the same nature.

Skux is the alter ego of Ayisha Jaffer in her emerging project that was spawned musically from a love of punk and a life-long admiration of the riot girl movement. With material co-written with Dan Walker of The Death Set, Jaffer performs live with her band between New Zealand, New York, and everywhere in between. Current location: Alaska.

Following the chart-topping success of On Her Way from double A-side single The Two Sides of She in 2016 and adopting a punk-rock/park-ranger lifestyle in Alaska away from home, Skux returns with a new single and announces her debut EP Kudis due August 23rd.
