UK synthwave rock duo Skyracer return with ‘Last Token’ single
Skyracer
Sheffield, UK synthwave rock duo Skyracer return with the “Last Token” single as the closing track of their self-released debut album “Skyracer V1.0”.
Built around the idea of life as a video game, “Last Token” focuses on choosing one person as the final âextra lifeâ when everything else is collapsing. Written and produced by the duo and featuring Luke Harris on drums, the track is the eighth single for the band.
The song appears both as a standalone digital single and as the album closer on “Skyracer V1.0”, an eleven-track debut released in January 2026 and issued in a limited cassette edition. On the album, it follows the penultimate track “Hung The Moon”, rounding off a series that also includes collaborations with House Of Serpents, J.A.H and Sweet Little Machine.
About Skyracer
Skyracer is a synthwave-influenced pop-rock duo from Sheffield, UK, built around long-time friends and collaborators Dan Fox (vocals) and Chris Brayshaw (guitar). The pair have played in bands together for around 15 years before focusing on the project as a studio-driven project that blends 90s pop-punk and pop-rock energy with nostalgic synths.
The project debuted with the single “Howling”, released digitally on 18 May 2025. By mid-2025 Skyracer had followed it with further digital singles, including “Under The Lights” with an accompanying video and “We’ve Been Alive”.
Additional tracks such as “Los Alamos”, “We’ve Been Alive”, “Under The Lights”, “”Champion” Edition” and the collaborative “I’ll Be Better” with Sweet Little Machine appeared on Bandcamp. Alongside these, Skyracer have worked with artists including House Of Serpents and J.A.H, contributing to tracks like “Drenched in Blood” and other collaborative cuts that later fed into their album tracklist.
In early 2026 the duo released their eleven-track debut album “Skyracer V1.0” as a self-released title, accompanied by a limited cassette edition. The record assembles their run of digital singles and collaborations, ending with the closing sequence “Hung The Moon” and “Last Token”.

Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
