The Lille-based quartet, led by singer Mat Bastard, is preparing to make its comeback with a sixth studio album, already marked by the double single " We Are Good " / " Distorter." This is an opportunity for Mat Bastard (vocals), Yan Stefani (guitar), Enzo Gabert (drums), and Nelson Martins (bass) to show that they have lost none of their enthusiasm. For the occasion, Skip The Use has teamed up with American sound engineer Adam Hawkins, a Grammy Award winner who has worked with several big names in pop (Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, etc.), rap (50 Cent, Eminem, The Roots, etc.) and alternative rock (Blink-182, Muse, Twenty One Pilots, Turnstile, Yungblud, and more). 

In 2026, Skip The Use will perform their new album live. It will be an opportunity to rediscover the boundless and infectious energy of Mat Bastard and his bandmates. In Paris, the date is set for December 5, 2026, at the Zénith de La Villette.
