Afternoon all, we know we've been a little quiet but we're not lying dormant. Plans are being made for the next couple of releases and all shall be revealed in good time!

Also, thank you to everyone who has supported Spielbergs and their "Distant Star EP". We reached our 100th sale through Bandcamp at the weekend, which for our first release feels like a bit of a landmark, really.

Be well xx

"Possessing the same incandescent energy that hyper-charged Japandroids' Celebration Rock... Distant Star marks one hell of a starting point.”

Thank you Kerrang! for the great words on Spielbergs' debut EP. We still have a handful of the ltd edition glitter cassettes left, which you can grab at the link. When they're gone they're gone.

Oslo-based indie rock heroes Spielbergs show some remarkable power-pop chops on this, their debut EP. Blending the charging, melodic surge of Superchunk with the arms-aloft overdrive of Japandroids, the Norwegian three-piece vault through opener "We Are A

Band To Watch: Spielbergs

Hear the Distant Star EP in full over at Stereogum now and read an interview with Mads and Christian about how Spielbergs cam to be.

An amazing piece of writing, take a read.

Ever hear a new band that’s so truly, madly, and deeply your s**t that it immediately seems like a prank? On some random afternoon in 2017, Spielbergs’ debut single found its way on my radar. I can’t even remember how — it probably appeared somewhere deep in my Twitter mentions and any evide...

Don't just take our word for how good (and it's very good indeed) this EP is, here is what the media have had to say so far:

“Big, heart-on-sleeve guitar-rock with a go-for-broke anthemic intensity… “We Are All Going To Die” will have you either tearing up, punching the sky, or both.”
Stereogum

"Amazing band, I really like this."
Dan P Carter - Radio 1

“Pummelling yet melodic guitars batter you round the heart with nary a pause for breath… Full of huge, lung-busting, shouting-into-the-wind vocals and relentless drums, guitars and everything else, cheerily-titled new single ‘We Are All Going To Die’ shows little concern for restraint.” Neu Pick - DIY

"a relentless soundscape of drums and guitars, owing its all-encompassing musicianship to shoegaze that is underpinned by a distinctly emo heart.”
Discovery - The Line of Best Fit

“A roller coaster ride of rollicking riffs, descending and ascending with a luminous fury and friskiness, before delivering us back home again safe and sound, but breathless.”
Song of The Day - The 405

“Guitars drill down at all angles, while the pummelling percussion sounds like a cement mixer trying to chew up a steel beam.”
CLASH

“Harnessing the sun-kissed escapism of road-trip-rock acts like Japandroids and Cloud Nothings, their pessimistic streak is cast aside be searing riffs and an urgency most lo-fi groups could do well to glen from.”
Essentials - AnotherMan

"The big rock banger you've been waiting for."
Emerging Artist Of The Week - NME

"Excellent... with a noise-pop twist."
New & Notable - Bandcamp

Praise for the first single "We Are All Going To Die":

Yo la Tengo-By the Time it gets Dark

Yesterday is gone and will be forgotten
And today is where every new day starts
Got to be free as the leaves in Autumn
You may be sad but it never lasts.
And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see
All the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark.

Sandy Denny, By The Time It Gets Dark (1974).

First signing announced Wednesday.

Great song !
