Spin Class has today released their new track titled ‘Bagel Bagel Bagel’ from their upcoming album ‘Dinner At Derek’s’, dropping later this year.
I consider this a total frenetic romp through the senses via that hotspot in your side where the song just kicked you. Recorded live in the studio, the assault of the ambiance is only found on the stage, with the tightness only found in a true musical entity, ‘Bagel Bagel Bagel’ feels like a party busting through your earbuds, yelling in those ears, asking why you don’t have a proper stereo.
About ‘Bagel Bagel Bagel’
Formed in 2023, Spin Class’s sound combines proggy riffs and hook-heavy melodies, with some grunge and desert rock thrown in for good measure.
With ‘Bagel Bagel Bagel’, the band wanted to capture the frenetic energy of their live show, opting to record the track live in its entirety with Josh Gallop (Krooked Tongue, Phoxjaw, Sergeant Thunderhoof) at Stage 2 Studios in Bath.
On the singles’ lyrical inspirations, lyricist and vocalist Louis Slater says, “Do you ever feel like a bagel? A soft, round, but delicious outside with a hole in the middle where all the bits should be? Now, times that by three, you get Bagel Bagel Bagel. Most of our lyrical inspirations are a retelling of our inner experiences, and in this belter, it’s paired with humour with lines like ‘ain’t the mix that makes the bread, hole in the bagel.’ This song is the perfect way to start the next chapter of Spin Class. It’s punchy and energetic with a layer of frustration, yet it’s a song that’s designed to light you up.”
On their decision to record live, the band explains, “For this track we wanted to write an intense, in-your-face punk song and go in the live-recorded direction, bands like Soundgarden and Led Zeppelin and how they recorded tracks being a heavy influence for us. This approach has been something we’ve never done before, but it felt very natural. We’re a live band first at the end of the day, and capturing that raw energy in production was essential. The result bounces between overstimulated punk intensity with each violent transition amplifying the live feel we’ve wanted to capture at gigs and rehearsals.”
