I could simply say it's pop-punk
but that would be doing Spoilers an injustice; this is more than just a catchy
as flu pop-punk record it's a complete genre game-changer. Highlights are the anthem
"Punks Don't Die" which the band wrote about one of their best
friends and big supporter of the Kent punk scene who recently passed away. The
tune leaves you feeling moved by the outstanding writing from Canterbury punk
scene veteran Dan Goatham as he delivers his words with passion, emotion and
honesty. The single from this record is "Stay Afloat" which is a
super fun song that is easily accessible by the masses and would be perfect for
the radio. (Check out the video here). Over the years pop-punk has taken many wrong
turns and taken on many different meanings but when you see "Stay
Afloat" labelled as pop punk please don't think Scuzz/Kerrang kiddie metal
kinda stuff, think more the bastard love child of Millencolin crossed with the
British accent of a Snuff or Consumed and it's good! It's very fucking good!
This record reminds me of summer, full of anthems , full of fun and it's my
soundtrack for road trips with my own band and it should be yours too!
