Almost exactly one year after their debut EP, Spitshakes return with a second round—and once again, the quartet from De Kempen, Belgium deliver four tracks that should light a fire under melodic punk fans worldwide. This is punk rock that punches above its weight: aggressive, dynamic, and melodic in equal measure. It’s got a pulse, a soul, and most importantly, a sense of craft.

What truly sets Spitshakes apart is their knack for embedding at least one killer hook into every track. Take the tightly constructed Black Hole Energy, or the immediate catchiness of Streets—both songs feel lifted straight from the Matt Hock and David Walsh playbook (The Explosion, Space Cadet).

This is punk rock done right—and well worth your time and money.
