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! |

5 months almost day-for-day after the release of "We Won't Die", Spanky Revolution gives us finally 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)
 Click to Download // Cover by Spanky |
"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, viiolons, 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 (beraly 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 proggressive "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
 Click to Download // Cover by Spanky Revolution |
"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 wolder!
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 sure worths 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 versio... WITH CUSTOM DRUMS!!! This version contains drums that were recorded during hollydays 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

His note: 15/20
|
"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 Manhatta", "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
 Click to Download // Cover by Spanky Revolution |
"Snow on Manhattan is the very first single I ever release. It contains 3 tracks for a run time of 11:31. The song "Snow on Manhattan" is one of my favorite from all of those I've done so far. Its difference is that it is very calm, but really entertainning 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
 Click to Download // Cover by Jod.Drummer |
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."

SPECTRE'S ALBUM REVIEW
Mr. Review's Rate: 2/5 stars
Spanky Revolution is back again with yet another musical extravagenza. Having already three albums under his belt and experience to hand around, expectations can be said to be set in accordance. With "Racing The Sunset", Spanky Revolution stays true to his agressive raw punk style and throws in some funky ska influences to match.
As if the 14 tracks (totaling near 45 minutes) on this release weren't enough, the album also features 3 bonus tracks and personalized inserts for every song. Of course, the amount of material and added features aren't to be reproached. However, there does seem to be an unfortunate contrast between quantity and quality on "Racing The Sunset". With many straight up hooks and song layouts, there is a foot stomping quality present, but Spanky isn't exactly blazing trails. The tracks do manage to stand apart, but nonetheless, they all seem cast from the same mold. Also, right from the opening riff, as the song "Pedal to the Floor" properly states, the accelerator kicks in and never lets go, which doesn't showcase the versatility that great albums are made from.
While "Getting Dirty" and "Knock Down" are written in examplary fashion, the remainder of the album fails to follow suit. Non stylistic dissonance and guitars/bass straying in and out of key are sadly more than an oversight in this case. Spanky does treat us to some interesting reverb effects, nicely chosen swells and generally very solid drumming along with a few customized beats, but despite all these flashy elements "Racing the Sunset" fails to stand out of the crowd in the right way. A few less contrasting chords could indeed change this album dramatically as Spanky proves he has some great ideas lodged in his head. But, as it stands, "RTS" could use a bit of fine tuning before becoming a masterpiece.
SPECTRE'S WORD OF ADVICE: @Spanky Revolution, a little music theory can go a long way, especially when concerning proper scale usage. Taking the time to simply understand the basics could greatly improve your song crafting ability. Sometimes even just learning the ropes can seem like a difficult task and if that be the case, feel free to approach somebody well versed in the matter to offer tips and explanations.

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 definetly check out!

It had been release on August 18th 2009. 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.
Spanky Revolution's Bio
Spanky Revolution, Étienne by his real name, discovered pom in the middle of May 2008, during a day off. After making few songs, he discovered the punk-o-matic.net and was glad to get his songs on mp3. After his PC and his mp3 crashed down, he joined the community on January 4th. He will then create more and more songs and become a well-known member on pom's forum.
Spanky released two albums in only 3 months, "SnR" in August 2009 and "Here Comes the Revolution" in November 2009. Before the release of this album, he will create, with Leoshi, Cookies & Biscuits Records.
After his second album, Spanky decided to take a break from the punk-o-matic to make an album named "Tonight Is the Night", the first album to feature 100% of music created without the punk-o-matic to be on the label.
On September 18th, Spanky finally releases his very first punk-o-maitc 2 album, Racing the Sunset. Sadly, the album was not much aclaimed by the critics, which forced him to work way harder for his album "We Won't Die", album from what a deluxe edition shall come out soon. Meanwhile, Spanky worked on two music videos, "Saturday Night's Game" and the classic "Chromatic Milkshake". short after the release of this last video, the band released "Snow On Manhattan", a single featuring a song from their upcoming album.
In 2011, Spanky Revolution released "We Won't Die", a huge step forward that got mostly praised by critics. He also released a single, "Riot"and "Anthem" that featured custom drumming as well as a video for the WWD version of the song.
Spanky Revolution also released a EP "You Won't Know", realized with Fruity loops Studios, a year day-for-day after the release of Tonight Is The Night. The band is now working on its third POM2 LP, "Poneycore" from which the single "With the Spankys" features the track "Prove 'em Wrong".
On October 19th 2011, Spanky Revolution released a best of compilation covering all his albums.
