Pennsylvania band Spanaway, sounds like they could be from, Illinois, which is definitely no knock on the band, combining elements of Failure, Hum, with a trace of American Football. The group Features the distinctive vocals of frontman Zack Van Why, with the swirling guitar sounds of Robby Vena and the solid beats of drummer Keith Goldoni, also known for his work in death metal/hardcore band Fuming Mouth. Formerly known as Blush, the band’s forthcoming album Songs of Yesteryear is the first release under the Spanaway name. The LP was recorded and engineered by Zach Weeks at God City and mastered by Cult of Luna‘s Magnus Lindberg. The album drops December 6th via Burial Whisper Records. Ahead of the arrival of Songs of Yesteryear, the band is sharing the track “Twenty Seven.”

Guitarist Robby Vena says the new single is “an exploration of loneliness… It’s that burning in your stomach as the breeze meanders through the nothingness.”

The band is joined on the track by various friends performing guest vocals, piano, and horns. Vena says: “We wanted to take that ‘Converge on Axe To Fall’ approach and put as many friends on as we could.”
