brimming with noisy, tuneful & triumphantly queer pop songs about identity, sexuality & being awesome, this 4-piece have become increasingly involved with the DIY queer punk scene.

taking inspiration from the passionate, like-minded people they’ve met along the way & from bands such as Martha, Joanna Gruesome, Trust Fund & Tuff Love, they cite influences including Buzzcocks, T-Rex & the noisier end of C86. the new album is louder, bolder, fuller-sounding & captures more of their live sound - aided & abetted by producer MJ of Hookworms. The Spook School are a band in the most communal sense of the word. Songwriting is split between all 4 members, giving a different perspective & energy to each song. The Spook School are the shot of optimism we’ve been hoping for.
