Australian queer bubblegum punk duo Cry Club enter their “villain era" with their electric sophomore album. The tight 10 tracks further refine their talent for turning frustrations and anger at social issues into anthemic thrash-alongs.

Writing Spite Will Save Me across Melbourne’s two years of on-and-off-again lockdowns, the two used the chance to escape their surroundings. Working with producer and Kingswood member Alexander Laksa (Flowerkid, Dallas Woods), the duo were able to geek out about their influences like Nine Inch Nails, Queens of The Stone Age and Gilla Band, and working out how to convert noise and post-punk into pop.
