Skinny Living are a three piece English indie rock band from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England.[3] However, in 2020 the band decided to change their name to New Familiar (sometimes typeset as Newfamiliar)[4][5][6] due to the name being associated with being thin, the name choice was about them being skint and living their life. The band is made up of a blend of vocalists, songwriters and musicians; namely Ryan Johnston (vocals), Will Booth (guitar), and Danny Hepworth (guitar).[7] 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,[8] play over 250 shows, as well as being selected to headline Live at Leeds.[9] In 2020 they were going to be touring with The Kaiser Chiefs, as well as headlining their own shows in London and Leeds.[10] In 2021, newfamiliar released a single called "How Can I?".
