No Borders Artist Review - "Spawn" - Aalten, The Netherlands

Hello everyone and welcome to episode 2 of this new series called "No Borders Artists Review"! where we will be reviewing indie artists from all over the world!

There's a lot of music in the world, some people work really hard to make their own way and we are willing to help them in every way possible.

For this episode we've chosen @spawnband from Aalten, The Netherlands.

"SPAWN is a high energy brass fuelled skapunk band from the Netherlands, keeping the beat rocksteady and the upstrokes a-skankin'. The band consist of guitar, bass, drums, keys, horns and vocals.

In October 2016, SPAWN released "Dance of the Lunatics". "With their third album, they've definitely found the groove and locked it down. "Dance of the Lunatics" is a huge, bouncing, sweaty dance machine perched on 14 legs and having the time of its life." [Louder Than War, 2016] The new album is available on all major streaming and music platforms, such as Spotify, iTunes and Amazon.

Since releasing "Dance of the Lunatics", SPAWN have featured on many Dutch, English and American radio shows and blogs like Louder Than War and XS NOIZE. Dozens of venues have already booked SPAWN for their 2017 club and festival season. “This is so much fun. You’re gonna love this. Mega riffs, Killer beats and some serious funk. Fuuuunk!” [Soundsphere magazine, 2016]

SPAWN consist of Roel Wensink (guitar & lead vocals), Paul Heijnen (drums), David van Lochem (bass), Jaap Bulsink (keys), Erik Rhebergen (trumpet & backing vocals), Derk Wikkerink (saxophone & backing vocals) and Mark Koeleman (trombone, backing vocals & percussion).

SPAWN was formed in 2001 as punk trio. Adding a trumpet player in 2002 and a saxophone player in 2004, at that time the band switched to playing ska music with a punky twist. SPAWNTANEOUS was released in 2005 (album of the month at the National Pop Institute). Their music video “Spam” was broadcast by MTV Networks for several weeks, earning the band national exposure. HOSDROPLOS was released in 2008, gaining access to major Dutch venues like Paradiso and Zwarte Cross Festival.

Having played hundreds of shows, SPAWN know how to get the party started and going. They have been around for more than 15 years and “Dance of the Lunatics” proofs that they are far from done!"

Dance of the Lunatics was the first album I ever heard of them and it blew my mind, so much that I instantly sent them a message asking permission to make a remix of one of their songs!
Mixing this super cool ska vibes with punk and sometimes even reggae, this band can put you in a good mood in a matter of seconds. At least that happens to me and I'm sure it has happened to a lot of people, a song starts and you are suddenly smiling! The energy that comes with each song is outstanding. Take a listen:

Here's this really cool idea they had, an album sampler of "Dance of the Lunatics" uploaded to DSound: https://dsound.audio/#!/@spawnband/20180402t175540240z-spawn-dance-of-the-lunatics-album-sampler

They've always been very supportive with me and with everyone, specially Roel aka @misterro.

Here's a live show they uploaded 7 months ago:

It may not have the best quality, but you can definitely see they are having fun and what they cause on people! Wouldn't you want to be in a Spawn party?
