“It’s a bit rawer than previous recordings, a bit more close to the bone, a bit more earnest.” Those who know Austin, Texas-based “Punkacana” band Spit City’s Long Dark Night LP (2021) and Carpe Demon EP (2022), won’t be able to suppress a smile at this announcement of the latest EP Let Me Know, because those previous releases were already as raw, close to the bone and earnest as can be. The four new tracks by Sean Rose (vocals, guitar), Patrick Ford (bass) and Johnny Bowers (drums) are once again loud and distorted punk rock, but definitely taking a different and more appealing direction: less dark and more uplifting, even tending to catchy and danceable. Their best game yet.
Frontman/songwriter Rose has found love and it suits him well. It’s reason to move back to his native Louisville, Kentucky, let’s hope he continues this successful streak there.
Let Me Know is out now digitally (self-released). Add to wantlist: Bandcamp
