‘Dress Up’ is the brilliant debut album from Edinburgh quartet The Spook School due out on Fortuna POP! It features the single ‘I’ll Be Honest’ which has this wonderfully funny video, which really showcases the band’s sense of humour and propensity for fun.
Inspired by the post-punk-pop of Buzzcocks, Lou Reed’s ‘Transformer’ and the films of Buster Keaton, with a dash of 60s pop for good measure, The Spook School are Nye Todd on guitar with Adam Todd also on guitar and Anna Cory on bass, not forgetting Niall McCamley who plays drums, tells jokes and takes his clothes off. They all sing and shout and write the music together. There is no leader and no ‘frontperson’. They’re a band.
