We chatted to the wonderful alt rockers Spin Class about their latest EP and plans for the future. Check it out below!

How would you describe your sound?

We’re a rock band with influences spanning the Seven Seas. But our biggest influence is Bristol’s own The Barnacle Bouys – expect our album to be only Sea Shanties!

The EP seems to have done well! Are there any stories around it, or a theme running through?

Thank you! We are super happy with how the EP is performing so far and a huge thank you to everyone who’s shown it love. Our songs are about personal experiences always, tuck in and see if there’s anything you relate to!

What’s the writing process like for the band?

To be honest, we never write one song the same! Sometimes we start it in the living room, sometimes we fart something out in the rehearsal room – we’ll all bring ideas to the table and smash ’em together! But who knows what the process will look like moving forward! It’s always fun to switch it up.

How do you come up with the song titles? Nice to see the early 2000s craziness with them making a comeback!

We spin a wheel and use whatever it lands on!

What made you decide on an EP over another album? Is there a longer release on the horizon or has the streaming model made you want to put out shorter releases for the time being?

We haven’t done an album just yet but these songs just naturally felt like they belonged together! We try not to think too hard about it and feel it out! Right now we reckon we’ll focus on shorter releases and work our way up from there!

Have you tried to play in the jumpsuits before? I imagine it’d be a sweaty gig!

Hahah! We actually haven’t, seems like we are missing a trick there! We do wear them in our debut music video for our song Phat Spaniard, you can find us gallivanting on our YouTube channel!

Have you got a busy rest of the year planned?

The rest of the year we’ll be in the Bahamas!

Do you have a dream tour lineup you’d want to be a part of? Anyone you’d want to support or bring on the road with you?

We’ve been casting incantations to manifest a tour with Queens of The Stone Age “Bubble, bubble tour with Queens of The Stone Age and trouble”

If you could have written any song from the past, what would it have been?

I know it’s a bit mainstream, but Nocturne in E Flat Major op.9 No 2 by Chopin. We were obsessed when we first heard it on a rerun of 1971’s Top of the Pops.
