Spin Class release new single "Bagel Bagel Bagel"
U.K. rock band Spin Class have delivered their new single “Bagel Bagel Bagel” today.
For this track, the band chose to record it live with the aid of Josh Gallop (Krooked Tongue, Phoxjaw, Sergeant Thunderhoof) at Stage 2 Studios in Bath. Vocalist Louis Slater said this about the song (out on streaming services right now) and the band’s reason for recording it live:
“Do you ever feel like a bagel? A soft, round but delicious outside with a hole in the middle where all the bits should be? Now times that feeling by three and you get Bagel Bagel Bagel. The majority of our lyrical inspirations are a retelling of our inner experiences and in this belter it’s paired with humour with lines like ‘Ain’t the mix that makes the bread, hole in the bagel.’ This song is the perfect way to start the next chapter of Spin Class. It’s punchy and energetic with a layer of frustration, yet it’s a song that’s designed to light you up.There’s humour in the musicality with the fast paced, punky rhythms and the call and response between guitar and vocals, and the last section switches from punk to a sludgy, doomy breakdown which drops all the metaphors in its final exclamation.
For this track we wanted to write an intense, in your face punk song and go in the live-recorded direction, bands like Soundgarden and Led Zeppelin and how they recorded tracks being a heavy influence for us. This approach has been something we’ve never done before but felt very natural. We’re a live band first at the end of the day, and capturing that raw energy in production was essential. The result bounces between overstimulated punk intensity with each violent transition amplifying the live feel we’ve wanted to capture at gigs and rehearsals.”
“Bagel Bagel Bagel” stems from Spin Class’ forthcoming EP Dinner At Derek’s, which will arrive later this year.
