Spring Break are a vaguely outrageous, psychedelic 3 piece folk funk outfit, hand crafting screwball anthems deep in the Highlands of Scotland. Amalgamating a wealth of experience in vocal performance and musicianship, whilst fusing the hip hop languages of scratching, beat-boxing and lucid lyricism with the foibles of apathy and the implied abuse of aquatic life.
The understated yet exacting playing of musical director Ben Hesling is expertly crafted and instantly absorbed, whilst the powerful control of Emily Mackinnon’s vocals is grippingly emotive, yet embossed in subtlety. Butterscotch’s painstaking personal raps pepper the songs with a graceful intensity amidst a smattering of turntablism.
All the while production mastermind Thelonious Rumpus oversees the proceedings atop his plush dental throne, with a broad technical expertise and cask conditioned understanding of music.
A sound as rich and invigorating as volleying a cricket ball through the windscreen of an arsehole’s stationery Land Rover.
Together they present a jubilant floral tribute to the not yet deceased.
Spring break are ready to be released into the wild.
Embrace them with love and wonder like a neon spaniel pup.
Jamie & Shoony don’t mess around. They are an urban indie punk quartet that exhilarate audiences whenever they play their full throttle and exuberant live shows.
Their ballsy Scottish anthems have them making waves in Scotland with a growing loyal fanbase. In 2015 they played to sell-out crowds in some of the country’s finest venues such as the O2 ABC, Kings Tuts Wah Wah Hut, The Electric Circus and Saint Lukes.
They were crowned ‘Best Live Act’ at The Local Music Scene Awards but the main highlight for the band was playing to over 8,000 people at Linlithgow’s Party at The Palace supporting Nile Rodgers with CHIC.
