The awesome debut EP from Spielbergs, fully-loaded with post-punk, celebration rock and noisy indie tunes. If you’re into the likes of Japandroids, Superchunk or Gang Of Youths then give this a listen.
The duo started an “adult youth club thing” where they’d meet every Friday night in a rented rehearsal space, workshopping jams over beers with no operating principles other than (a) it had to be fun and (b) there had to be no expectations attached to it. What a triumphant and life-affirming debut! amazing artwork and incredible production to match.

“A roller coaster ride of rollicking riffs, descending and ascending with a luminous fury and friskiness, before delivering us back home again safe and sound, but breathless.” – The 405
“Guitars drill down at all angles, while the pummelling percussion sounds like a cement mixer trying to chew up a steel beam.” – CLASH
“It offers the kind of swaggering, punch-drunk escapism we used to spend all our time wishing for in our teenage years, while making it feel utterly achievable even now we’re much older and far more cynical.” – Gold Flake Paint “One of the most exciting bands for 2019. – The i Paper
