Spring Offensive Release New Single ‘A Stutter and a Start’

Oxford’s unique and eclectically dynamic indie quintet are releasing their new single ‘A Stutter and a Start’ on April the 11^th, and have come up with a novel way to thank fans for their continuing loyal support in the process…

Spring Offensive – A Stutter and a Start by PopNoodleRadar

Having gained thousands of new listeners and critical acclaim from those impressed with both the musical structure and  lyrical detail contained within their last free ‘mega-single’ (a free 14 minute concept song inspired by Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ theory of the Grief Cycle), Spring Offensive are now keen to share their latest project with the world. Their jerky and jingly new single is told from the point of view of someone spending hours freezing in a car on the side of the road, making excuses rather than facing confrontation with a lover waiting alone in a restaurant.  The band state “It is about breakdown in every sense of the word: communication, the car and the relationship. But we try and make it sound triumphant, rather than the cowardly act that it actually is.”

Spring Offensive are thanking those who chose to donate a more-than-generous amount for their acoustic EP ‘Between Me & You’ (which was strictly only available for just one week in February), by publishing their full names on the physical artwork of the new single- which is also supported by the equally absorbing B-side ‘The Well’ and previously released favourite ‘Abacus Rex’, as remixed by fellow Oxford group Gunning For Tamar.

In addition to their displayed gratitude to their most devoted fans on the single’s artwork, those who buy a physical copy will discover the packaging in the form of a black & white booklet- even complete with colouring-in pencils to customise themselves!
