EP REVIEW: Wild Spelks – A House Full Of Strangers (self-released)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Wild Spelks is the musical vehicle of Newcastle-based songwriter\/musician\/producer Jonathon Sabiston, and, after a series of standalone singles, this is their first EP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking inspiration from the likes of The Menzingers and Grandaddy, every song on this five-track slice of melodic punk could easily be a single in their own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the songs were written and performed by multi-instrumentalist Sabiston in his spare bedroom, and produced by engineer Chris McManus (Pit Pony, Du Blonde).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It opens with They’re Gonna Get You<\/em>, a jaunty song full of beefy riffs about voices in your head which reminds me a lot of US emo-pop-rockers Jimmy Eat World.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"wild<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Next up is lead single Help Myself<\/em>, a joyous-sounding but lyrically melancholy reflection on substance abuse and its catastrophic effects on relationships and friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy & Healthy<\/em> seems to be a cry for and promise to help as Sabiston sings: “Happy and healthy but shaking all the time\/You see straight through me so tell me what is on my mind.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take It From A Friend<\/em>, also a single, reminds me of Alkaline Trio, with its infectious riff and earworm chorus. And is that some trumpet I hear in there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best is saved ’til last; Getting The Band Back Together Again<\/em> recalls good times playing music with friends, with the creative process almost doubling as therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"wild<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

There’s a real Menzingers feel to the earworm chorus, which goes: “Distortion fizzes in my ears\/I\u2019ll play this song for a hundred years\/I\u2019m getting the band back together again\/I knew we would in the end.”<\/em> Great stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Full Of Strangers<\/em> is available digitally, on very limited edition CD, cassette and vinyl from Wild Spelks’ Bandcamp page HERE<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild Spelks aren’t just a studio project; Sabiston also does full-band gigs with a revolving line-up of musicians from North East bands such as Them Things, Sam Fender, The Welcome Party and Holy Moly & The Crackers. On the strength of this EP, I hope to catch them live soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
