Pumping out their punk rock for the masses, the band are set to see in a new era with the release of <i>\u2018Death Of Denmark\u2019<\/i> through <b>Speaking Tongues<\/b> and it\u2019s set to be a catchy affair. <\/figure>\n<p>First and foremost, the band has a serious knack for writing an infectious and convincing jam. From the moment opener <i>\u2018Ramleaze Drive\u2019<\/i> sparkles with positively thrashing guitars and enthralling vocal refrains, before bleeding into <i>\u2018Jake\u2019s BBQ\u2019<\/i> that tells the story of overcoming heartbreak to a backdrop of folk tinged riffs and bouncy drums, the band channel old school pop punk into the modern day with vigor, cheek and openness. Where the UK scene has let overpowering &ldquo;feelings&rdquo; propel them forwards, <b>Spineless Yes Men<\/b> have taken the genre back to it\u2019s roots and used the it as a thoroughly positive outlet rather than just penning sad songs for the sake of it.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Where <b>Spineless Yes Men<\/b> really excel though is in their colourful lyrics. Being able to take everyday language, put it into song and convey a story as vividly and thoroughly engrossing as the band manage across the 4 songs of <i>\u2018Death Of Denmark\u2019<\/i> is a real skill and one they have nailed down to tee. Probing at the average situations we all find ourselves in across our lifetime, mostly drinking too much and saying something silly, the band makes even the most awkward of situations sound gloriously optimistic. A perfect example is <i>\u2018Post Gig Blues\u2019<\/i> which radiates anxiety through swaying beats and decisive hooks before closer <i>\u2018Clumsy\u2019<\/i> proves it is nothing of the sort, messing with passionate build-ups and drunken thoughts to develop an overtly relatable listen. <\/p>\n<p>Overall <i>\u2018Death Of Denmark\u2019<\/i> is excellent. A slick run-through of quintessentially British pop punk, overflowing with tongue-in-cheek wit, melodic enthusiasm and a sprinkling of folky charm that use storytelling in a engaging but also casual manner. For all the hopeless romantics and awkward socialites, <b>Spineless Yes Men<\/b> know exactly how you are feeling and have penned an excellent soundtrack to all your little anxieties and nibbling issues. <\/p>\n<p>4\/5<\/p>\n<p><em>&lsquo;Death Of Denmark<\/em> EP by <strong>Spineless Yes Men <\/strong> is out now on <strong>Speaking Tongues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spineless Yes Men<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/spinelessyesmen.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SpinelessYesMen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/spinelessyesmen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Jack Rogers (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JackMRog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@JackMRog<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spineless Yes Men have been doing the rounds of London town for 6 long years now and have no intention of slowing down at all.
