Spring Offensive are one of my random last.fm discoveries. Their musical style is best not described at all, it’s that kind of stuff you have to figure out for yourself.
Oxford 5-piece Spring Offensive are a relentlessly inventive guitar band complete with rich harmonies, pounding rhythms and dark lyrics. With a live show charged with energy, their influences include Death Cab for Cutie, The National and Wild Beasts. Having received support from BBC Introducing across Radio 1 and 6 Music, and recently headlining a show at O2 Academy Oxford, played at Truck and Underage Festival they are now set for tour in Europe in October.
This is their latest single from the EP A stutter and a start.
The band have recently released a 13:22 minute long track for free download on their website (no email required!). The track comes with a handwritten note by the band. Although The first of many dreams about monsters comes as one long track it feels more like several songs rolled into one that burst into a crescendo at the end.
