    Spurts, easy for you, that was mean and I’m sorry, alternative rock, 90s rock

    Set to release on May 3rd via Lava Socks Records, the latest offering from Spurts is a vibrant homage to ’90s alternative rock that will resonate with fans of the genre. The Oakland-based band channels their musical heroes—Built to Spill, Weezer, and Yo La Tengo—infusing the album with an authentic retro vibe. The tracks are a candid critique of the music industry, delivered with a bold, unapologetic flair. The music combines laid-back guitar riffs and delicate synth lines, balancing nostalgia with a contemporary edge, and even a touch of self-mocking pettiness that adds depth to their sound. This is a band to DEFINITELY watch out for!

    Formed by a group of childhood friends—Robert Sanlis on guitar and vocals, Nathan Graves on keys, Chris Schubert on bass, and Jack Kovacich on drums—Spurts is a band that thrives on a DIY ethos and energetic performances. Their music feels like a well-curated mixtape of forgotten ’90s hits, yet it’s tinged with a cynical, self-aware take on today’s indie rock scene. This nuanced blend of old and new is poignantly captured in their forthcoming LP, ‘That Was Mean And I’m Sorry,’ promising a fresh yet familiar auditory journey for their listeners. Check out “Easy For You” below:
