UK melodic punk band Spoilers have released their new single 'Skip To The End'. It is the second single off of the band's new EP "There Or Thereabouts," out August 11 via SBÄM Records.

The band had the following to say about the new EP:

"The new EP was half written before lockdown and half written during. Having toured relentlessly promoting “Roundabouts” during 2018 and 2019 we didn’t spend a great deal of time writing so the plan was to release something new in 2020. We had a few songs finished and then “the event” happened and it pushed us back. We took time to write separately at home and send songs to each other digitally which we’d never done before, usually writing together in rehearsal studios.

Once we were finally allowed back in the same room we spent time adjusting the songs and making sure they’d sound great live as well as recorded. Once we were happy, and once we were legally allowed to, we booked the studio to record. A week before going into the studio another lockdown was announced and we had to postpone. This happened 3 times in total.

Between re-arranging recordings, re-writing songs, rehearsing and reassessing our life choices it took until 2022 to finally get the songs finished and the record mastered.

To us the songs now feel like old songs but to everyone else they’re brand new so it’s an unusual place to be. We’re super excited to finally be putting the EP out this year however and for people to get to hear the follow up to “Roundabouts”."

Formed in 2015, Spoilers quickly made a name for themselves in the local punk scene with their raw sound and electrifying live performances. Comprised of Snuff bassist Dan on lead vocals and guitar, guitarist and vocalist Ben, bassist Stu, and drummer Leon, Spoilers draw inspiration from a mix of bands including Leatherface, China Drum, Lifetime, Face to Face and The Lawrence Arms.
