Spodee Boy: Sterile World 7″ (new)

Description

Debut 7″ from this Nashville punker! Cool stuff for fans of the sound coming out Northwest Indiana.

Our take: Debut vinyl from this Nashville project (I think its a one-person band). The person behind Spodee Boy actually dropped by the store while on tour with his other band and mentioned this project, noting that it was in a similar vein to a lot of Northwest Indiana stuff like DLIMC, Coneheads, Liquids, et al, and the similarities to that sound are pretty obvious with its raw production, Devo-inspired mechanical-sounding (but as far as I can tell acoustic) drums, but willingness to engage with a lot more melody and traditional pop songcraft than most noisy DIY punk bands. I think its pretty much a given that if youre into that soundparticularly Liquids rawer cassette releasesthat youll really enjoy this too, but Ill also say that Spodee Boy can get pretty far out there. While some bands / songs in this style can almost start to sound like pop-punk with rawer production, Spodee Boy seems more grounded in a Hardcore Devo / Electric Eels type of thing. Definitely recommended if youre still enjoying pulling on this thread of current punk.
