Gig Review – SPINN @ The Riverside

SPINN rocked the Riverside on Wednesday night with a lively show in front of a soaked set of fans.

However, it didn’t take long for the band to warm up their fans, performing songs from their latest self titled LP.

Immediately upon watching the band it is clear to see the love and devotion shown towards the group from their fans.

SPINN @ The Riverside – 27-11-19

This was a mutual love, however, with frontman Johnny Quinn giving a shoutout to fans at the front who had SPINN tattoos.

Quinn himself, as well as the rest of the band, put on quite the show smashing home various songs with a confidence and swagger.

It is this which is refreshing about SPINN, in a genre filled with wannabe hardmen, they refuse to buy into that.

Instead treating their fans to beautifully crafted indie pop with dashes of shoegaze thrown in for good measure without the laughable macho bullshit which has become rather tiresome.

Quinn on stage is very reminiscent of a Matty Healy or Morrissey just without all the far right tendancies and racism (not Matty).

To watch him is fun and it’s clear that he is having just as an amazing time as the audience is.

Whilst SPINN don’t reinvent the wheel they certainly do put on a great show. Make sure to check them out if you get the chance.
