Skegss put out "Stranger Days" on 1 February 2022, and it starts small: Ben alone on acoustic guitar, strumming a folky run of chords while he owns up to his failings and stays cheerful about it anyway. Then Johnny and Tobi come in behind him, the track picks up a lean, swinging strut, and by the close it's all group vocals, the Australian trio singing as one gang.
Jamieson Kerr directed the video, which came out the same day and follows the band's drummer through training for a marathon. Triple J's listeners took it to heart in that year's Hottest 100, and in February 2026 it went gold in Australia for sales and streams past 35,000.
