The name Skinny Living describes the financial reality and lifestyle of the working class – hard graft on a low income with a lust for life, passion for family and an optimistic attitude about the future.[5] The band signed to RCA Records in 2017, and then to Polydor in 2019. That same year saw them have their tracks featured on the likes of Clash Magazine,[6] play over 250 shows, as well as being selected to headline Live at Leeds.[7] In 2020 they were going to be touring with The Kaiser Chiefs, as well as headlining their own shows in London and Leeds.[8]
In 2020 they changed their name to New Familiar as they recognised their original name was problematic. This confused their fans, so they changed it back to Skinny Living.[citation needed]
