SPB premiere: "The Sound Remains" by SPELLS

Posted in Bands on March 14, 2024

Catchy Denver, CO punk band SPELLS returns, sharing a new tune today in advance of their third LP, which will release on April 11.

We at Scene Point Blank are excited to debut the lead single, “The Sound Remains,” a bouncing dual vocal song that captures their energetic, enthusiastic vibe. The new record is called Past Our Prime.

“'The Sound Remains,' is a slice of garage-influenced punk rock that also hints at the more dynamic and boisterous sound that permeates this latest catalog entry. POP is trademark SPELLS with a balanced amount of evolution that keeps things fresh and fun,” the band tells us.

The band has previously two LPs, a compilation collection, and several flexis and singles along the way. Stimulants & Sedatives was released in 2020.

The new album will be available courtesy of Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings, Rad Girlfriend Records, Big Neck Records, Keep It A Secret Records (Germany), and Shield Recordings (Netherlands). Order it directly from the band here.
