Spanky Revolution's albums
HEART BLOOM
Recorded between November 2013 and January 2016, Heart Bloom is the long-awaited 5th official release from Spanky Revolution, the first since Tempête Écarlate came out in September 2012.
The album introduces a completely revamped style, leaning strongly toward noise-rock, dance-punk and dream pop, with a stronger emphasis on the work in studio than ever. Multiple guitars, takes, effects, samples, etc. are featured here, giving the album a sound you've never heard before. Heart Bloom features 10 tracks, most of which have been played live at some point. This being said, every song went through a heavy process of editing prior to the recording, with some of them being barely recognizable from their original iterations. The album does, however, feature the singles Werewolves and Sink and Drown. It also features Clique 2016, an updated version of the 2014 promotional single featuring Chester, Powerstars, The Random Factor, Forever The Young and Conscientia. Ingénue, meanwhile, features both Spanky Revolution and Sons of Seven Less playing in unisson for almost the entirety of the track. The tight tracklist leaves no room for filler, as every other song serves a purpose. Opener Finesse does its job fantastically well, acting like a train downhill gaining momentum every few bar before exploding into the most rewarding chorus of the year. Machinerie and The Glitter Off Your Face could both be potential radio singles while ...Final Girl showcases a dangerous mix of extra noise and extra pop. The true star though has to be the penultimate track, Emotion, Bruises, Passion which brings the intensity to another level all while living up to its name. The grandiose track segues into the final track, Finale for one hell of an ending. |
TEMPETE ECARLATE
Tempête Écarlate:
In French, it stands for "Scarlet Storm". This album is not a regular Spanky Revolution album. Take it as the last. Take it as the darkest, heaviest, loudest record they provided. It's a record you feel. A record of atmosphere. We started our career with a Snowstorm and we shall end it the same way, providing the best storm you ever felt through your bones. The album includes four exclusive tracks, including the last chapter of the Here Comes The Revolution trilogy; a 7:39 masterpiece which includes a 40-ish second jump from our greatest friends and eternal collaborators, Spectre. This being said, this album is ours and is an answer to our convictions. No other collaborations, all the rest is the work of isolation. This is why this record might seem claustrophobic at first, but it really is an open field. The album also includes the single "Speak White" as well as the previously released "Snow on the Church's Roof". There is also an album note to help you enter the storm like never before. Take care and be careful on the road, we don't want to lose you. |
SPEAK WHITE
BEST OF
After 6 LPs, 1 EP, 4 singles, 4 music videos, over 80 songs and a whole lot of shows, mosh pits, body surf, stage diving, guitar smashing, thrown underwear, fights, booze, groupies, nights sleeping in a van, scars, cops altercations, snowball fights, gas spent, bad ideas, screams, smiles, tears, laughs, crappy motel rooms, money lost, hockey games, sell out opportunities denied, questionable promoters, naked streaks, nights spent without sleeping, fast food visited, poutines, TV show appearance, friends and fans, it is time for Spanky Revolution to look back and make a compilation of their whole career. 15 tracks that marked their career, from Snowstorm to Loverdose and from She Won't Smile to a collab with Spectre, they are all there. Add to this a 16th track, "Lips Like Cancer", the brand new hit that gets everyone's attention. The album also includes a colorful album note in MS Word format. You can also download the PDF version here. We would've included it in the set, but the file would be too big for mediafire to handle...
And remember: we're just getting started! |
PONEYCORE
HERE IT IS! The long awaited third LP from Spanky Revolution is out! And this time, it introduces a brand new style: Poneycore! This album is all about punk, rock, alcohol, girls, rainbows, unicorns, dinosaurs, rock and roll, colors, chainsaw fun, parties, magic and, of course, windshields being crushed by someone's face.
10 tracks that Shines as gold to give you the Loverdose you always needed. Even if some taught this band wouldn't last, well the guys of Spanky Revolution Prove 'em Wrong and are ready to get a Victory Lap and Smash It All! So Heal Darling, Heal from the fucking bleeding of early January while you were stucked in a Tiger Trap, and don't take our advice to Die young and save yourself too much in serious, or you'll go "Tout droit vers la mort" like we say here. But if you already died, I hope you were thinking about me when you forgot your seatbelt and crossed the windshield... |
WITH THE SPANKYS
5 months almost day-for-day after the release of "We Won't Die", Spanky Revolution gives us the very first single of its third POM2 LP, Poneycore, that should come out later in June. This new single, with a cover art parodying Beatles's album "With the Beatles" contains the future smash hit "Prove 'em Wrong" that you will be able to find back on the upcoming LP. You can also find a collaboration with the guys of Suicide by Spoon as an exclusive B-track. Don't try to find "Emergency" on Poneycore, you can only find it here!

YOU WON'T KNOW (EP)
"You Won't Know" is an EP that I have been working on mostly in the months after the release of Tonight Is the Night. The four main tracks are a logical extension of the sound of the very last song of TITN, "The Feeling Of My Face Kissing The Windshield On High Speed". There are synths, violons, hand claps, distortion... a dark clusterfuck to blow your mind for a great 18 and something minutes. This is my last album using Fruity Loops; I will from now on experiment with new softwares to get a new sound. Still, I wanted to give there tracks their chance to be released. The album starts up with a very short intro (barely 20-ish seconds) followed by "Upcoming" that gives a fast raw sound to the album. The last note goes on as the dance-rock "Gonna Catch Your Eye". Next is the progressive "Car Crashes" that leads you to a blast off finale. And to wrap it up, my personal favorite "Crossing Oceans" will bring you through the chaotic seas to lead you to good port.

ANTHEM
"Anthem is the final single taken out of the album "We Won't Die" after "Snow On Manhattan" and "Riot". Just like "Riot", this single offers you one of the top smash hits of the album with new twisted custom drums, though this time, the percussions go even wilder! The drums were once again created using Fruity Loops 9 to get that one unique sound.The single also features for the first time on an album the official Carnage TV theme song, which had few editing by Spectre, as well as a demo track from the coming album "Poneycore", that should hit the shelves in May. This single is shorter (about 6:15 of total run time) but it's sure worth a listen!
|
RIOT
"Riot" is the second single from the album "We Won't Die". after "Snow on Manhattan" that gave you a first track for We Won't Die before its release, "Riot" gives once again something new. We mean, why releasing a single album with a song you can already have by listening We Won't Die? Well because it's an exclusive version... WITH CUSTOM DRUMS!!! This version contains drums that were recorded during holidays with Fruity Loops Studios 9, the same software we did Tonight Is the Night with.The album also features "I Killed a Man" that is not even on pom.net and the very new track "DIE YOUNG AND SAVE YOURSELF". Everything in under 10 minutes. Have fun!

WE WON'T DIE
|
"We Won't Die" is the much anticipated second pom2 album from Spanky Revolution. After a first try that helped him catching the pulse of the new punk-o-matic, this LP shows major improvements with catchier than ever hooks and a wide diversity of moods while defining his very own precise style. This album shows 11 punk songs including a collab with Spectre, the almost controversial "Bleed Fucker Bleed" that got praised and dissed and the hits "Snow On Manhattan", "Riot", "Anthem" and the unforgettable "You Wanna Sink (So I'm Gonna Let You). You can also hear a remake of Madmatt09's song "Broken Hearts Never Heal" in Spanky's sauce, the less than a minute long tribute "Rick James Was a Classy Man", the growing "Jump On The Train! (Runaway)", the long bridged title track "We Won't Die" and the almost experimental track "Rome Is Burning", that inspired the whole album and that contains hours of work, changes and modifications The album also features Spanky's first attempt at mixing a whole album by himself.

SNOW ON MANHATTAN
"Snow on Manhattan is the first single from We Won't Die. It contains 3 tracks for a run time of 11:31. The song "Snow on Manhattan" is one of our favorites from all of those we've done so far. Its difference is that it is very calm, but really entertaining and catchy. Its B-Sides are two tracks you will only find in this album and nowhere else, which are "December Lights", a simple song with a clear structure and great hooks as well as the song "Cold to the Bones", a collab that was first between me and TheGhostOfRickJames, but that later included Burger. That last track is really muscled and sounds like nothing you've heard on Racing the Sunset. This single is perfect for the month of December, or at least until I release the anticipated LP "We Won't Die"."

RACING THE SUNSET
Racing the Sunset is the very first punk-o-matic 2 album from Spanky Revolution. The album, including 14 tracks, goes from punk to hard rock and takes few turns to ska or punk pop by moments. The album features as well awesome mixing from Downfall-RiD as well as one cover art for every song of the album! These covers are from either Spanky Revolution himself, Warlost, TheGhostOfRickJames, Nocturne or Jod.Drummer (The two last ones are the ones that made the most out of them). The album includes "Saturday Night's Games", "Blasting Off the Sun", "(It's) All About the Smile" and the album exclusive "Vingt-Quatre Juin (June 24th)", a collaboration between Spanky and Warlost.
"I think it's a pretty good mix of stuff, I can definitely tell it's [his] style. It feels really gritty and rough. Downfalls mixing definitely gave it an edgier tone. For some reason I'm thinking like really Grunge-ish Punk mix. It's like they had a baby and this is it. It has a really chaotic feel to it. Lot of the songs have really interesting build ups and breaks and then hectically pace themselves. All pretty cool dude."

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT
C&BR AWARDS
WINNER: Best experimental or concept album
This one is my very first one using Fruity loops 9 instead of the punk-o-matic like the first ones. The album is basically the story of a bunch of guys and girls going to the deepest and the darkest woods possible to make an outstanding show all night long. There are three parts to the album:

HERE COMES THE REVOLUTION
Click to Download // Cover by Spanky Revolution
Our second album. After SnR, we were kinda sad from seeing the songs that couldn't be on the album but that were still very cool. That's where the idea of making a second album came. On this one, a lot of songs has been made with the purpose of making the album. There are 13 tracks plus a bonus song. It includes some of our best song ever, "Here Comes The Revolution". It's actually a two-part dual song. Epic way to start the album. It also includes a dual with Marco and a bonus song by him. Finally, it has the best song names ever: Kicking Myself In The Nuts ; Sucks To Be A Sock ; 1 MC & 1 DJ (collab with Marco 109) ; Cookies, Chocolate, Pepsi and Vc² ; Lemonade Under The Stars or Me vs 2501104 Monsters. Something you should definitely check out!

With not so much material and money in the bank, only 11 tracks, including the bonus "Let's Fuck The World In About 72 Seconds" were on the album instead of 14 as planned. On this album, we can note the presence of "Snowstorm" a track we made back in 2008 and that is still nowadays a crowd's favorite. This track is also on Leoshi's well known "Ode to Eargasm". There is also the smash hit "Sleepless", that will is on the album "No Sunrise to the Punk-O-Maddicted", by Leoshi. Finally, the song "Awesomeness", featuring Vc², is the first collab we' ve ever made with another band. We like the way the album is easily listenable from a way to the other.
The album originally came out independently on August 18th 2009.

Spanky Revolution's Bio
Spanky Revolution is a Québec-based alternative punk band and pioneer of the POM scene. They were first known for their abrasive yet catchy tracks and innovative album production. With a true DIY spirit, the band created, in late 2009, Cookies & Biscuits Records, with the help of some friends before fully taking it over. After a brief hiatus following the critically-acclaimed Tempête Écarlate, the band released Heart Bloom in early 2016, incorporating complex production along with noise rock and dream pop influences to their alternative and punk sound. While the band still occasionally performs live, every member is now perfectly happy, raising families and settling down. Being punks and performing over the world was a lot of fun. But life goes by quickly and there is only so much damage you can take on your back. Growing up is part of life and nothing says being 12 years old like having your band called "Spanky Revolution". No matter what happens, no one can ever take away the years the guys spent with the SnR, the ups and the downs. The frustrations and the small victories. Each member grew a lot since starting this band back in 2008 and now, to grow even more, it's time to let it go.
