Formed in 2024 as a UK-based studio collective, The SKBs quickly evolved from a one-off recording project into a serious ongoing band built around strong songwriting and seasoned musicianship.
At the core are songwriter Al Sharp, powerhouse vocalist Sara Davey, and Leon Cave (Status Quo) on drums. Following their debut album Where This Leads Us (April 2025), the band return with a more focused, confident sound for their “difficult second album”, The Next Stop - leaning further into rock and country influences while keeping their melodic backbone firmly intact. The collective continues to move from strength to strength, with growing international streaming success and an increasingly loyal audience across Spotify and social platforms. Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut album Where This Leads Us, The SKBs recently played their first live shows to sell-out crowds in Colchester, with strong demand already building for further UK performances planned throughout late 2026 and into 2027.
About the Song:
“The Prying Eye came from a growing feeling that modern life has become one long exercise in being watched, measured and analysed. Whether it’s what you buy online, how much you spend, what you click on, or simply walking down the street under a sea of cameras, it’s too much!” - Al Sharp (songwriter, The SKBs)
