 2. What kind of tune is Rectifier?

3. Who do Spring King sound similar to?

4. What have the press said about Rectifier?
“Crisp build up, the distorted vocals and the delicious pop touch beneath the noise” – Clash Music.
“Pulsating” – It’s All Indie.
“One hectic motherfucker of a track” – When The Gramophone Rings.

 


5. Who puts the feedback in Spring King’s guitars?
Spring King’s list of influences are The Beach Boys, Arcade Fire, Ty Segall, The Clash, The Black Lips, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, The Projectors, Stan Getz, Chet Baker and Astrud Gilberto.


6. Why should I give Rectifier a fair crack of the whip?

Spring King’s opening blows in the fight for title of English rock’n’roll’s best newcomers, the singles City and Who Are You?, showed great promise. Rectifier comes good on that promise. Recitifier nails it. Rectfier is a rollicking piece of essential, noisy and addicitve rock’n’roll.


7. Do Spring King have any more bangers?

Who Are You? is the one you want.


8. Any more words?

Spring King were propelled into fame and fortune by Zane Lowe playing it as his first song on his new radio show.

Dessert is served by The Swedish post-punk band The Sounds. Started in 1999 and with five long players in the vault this band have been compared to Blondie and The Cars and have toured with The Strokes and The Foo Fighters. Yeah Yeah Yeah comes from their fourth album Something To Die For (2011) and is a tall strutting synth pop gem that kicks ass and doesn't take names.
“You don’t float like a butterfly or sting like Ali,
Dress like Prince but to the lowest degree”
