Review By Darren McIntyre
Spleen are an Indie Punk Rock trio from Florence, Italy who were founded in 2019 and who originally went under the guise of Big Beast On Fat Boys. The boys are still in High School awaiting to finish their final year before they unleash themselves upon the world, they changed their name to Spleen, caught the eyes and ears of Contempo Records who have put out a double A-Side record which I will be reviewing for you today.
Dystopic School – A heavy pounding beat crashes through the intro as a shredding power riff shatters the silence as these boys bring the heat to this opening track. The rhythm section is coming in with a solid punchy snare drum beat as the bass kicks are bringing the groove to this punk-esque number as a cool funking bassline drops in with epic tones that let this monster leave it’s mark on us. The growling guitar riffs are soaring as the boys drive forward and let us feel the energy, depth and sheer power punch a hole right through this epic opener.
Affected Kid – A gritty guitar groove pours through the intro as a real solid rhythm section delivers a stonking beat that lets this track breathe. The vocals are soaring through the track as they bring a real gravelly tone that works so well with this fist pumping, foot stomping growler track that really shows a different side to this epic trio as they build and build with ease. The colossal bassline is wrapping itself around these fantastic riffs as the track kicks in the doors and really socks it to us, the whole arrangement is a crunching rocker punk beat that just allows these boys to express themselves as they kick off with a real growling guitar riff that is joined by a solid rhythm section that is dropping in cool cymbal crashes that just gives this track a real edgy feel.
What’s Behind The Sun – Cool guitar tones wander through the intro as the cymbal snaps control the groove as this deep pulsing beast awakens. The smooth soulful vocals are working well as this grooving beast builds and builds as we get a real killer melodic tone that is accompanied by a pounding snare drum beat that unleashes hell as the track changes direction. The crunching guitar riffs are just destroying everything in it’s path as these boys throw down the gauntlet and reall finish on a high with this meaty rocker track that has us instantly stamping our feet to this killer groove, bassline is handing us a real growler tone that just melts all through this fantastic finishing track as the tempo rises and really lets this monster deliver a shredding power drenched solo that is just on the money.
