SPUN RIVALS

"Spun Rivals do a lot with their two minute monster. 'It wants you back' pummels you with angular guitars and a peppy melody, barking versers and a raw, wailing chorus. It stops and starts and switches gears dramatically, straddling noise rock and indie pop with brilliant, bullish enthusiasm."



Single of the week, Beat Magazine



"Spun Rivals (EP) is a nifty display of hooks, jaggered riffing and displays a promising future for this style of song writing. It's not punk, nor rock, nor pop—but a little of each. Post-punk indie new-wave is what the press release says, and as broad as that sounds, it feels kind of appropriate."

Single Review, Melbourne Arts .Net



"World class electro punk"

Single Review, Beat Magazine



"Spun Rivals left their audience speechless at the sheer energy and brilliance that possesses the band. From the lyrics to the songs themselves, each one is crafted meticulously into an epic experience"

Faster Louder Live Review



"Spun Rivals. Blew.Me.Away! The trio were power-charged, ripping through 45 minutes with the level of energy never faltering. The Scott and two Aussies stage-graced with loud, wirery guitar reminiscent of At The Drive In at moments, while channelling the pop sensibilities and biting lyrics of The Clash"
