JOYZINE: Track By Track – “Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi”
Miesha And The Spanks jumped out at me as I delved through my weekly editor submissions – plucking the most interesting tracks/albums/artists from the depths of my inbox and adding them onto Joyzine’s bulging reviews list, in a bid to pique the interest of our writers. I hit play on the private stream of the Canadian duo’s Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi album and seemingly forgot where the stop button was located. On first listen, there’s the punchy riot grrrl influence, high energy waves of garage rock and a searing upbeat momentum, but digging down into the lyrical themes reveals outrage, anger and darkness.

EARMILK: Miesha and The Spanks Delivers Powerful New Single
The grungy number is all dark instrumentals and haunting vocals, exposing the band’s anthemic garage rock sensibilities within an indie rock base, while hiding away a feel-good and uplifting message on turning negative experiences into positive, empowering pushes forward in our lives.
GIRL UNDERGROUND MUSIC: Miesha and The Spanks Raise A Glass For The Weirdos On ‘It’s My Year’
On the single, the duo form an animated anthem to embrace the oddities in yourself and reclaim your moment, and in this case, your year. Leading with a signature rock n’ roll count, distortion, and Louie’s lively vocals, the single basks in its pop embellishments while staying true to their grooves.
