SpoilSport plays music with a punk soul, a pop sensibility and a beat you can dance to. Embracing the rawness of primitive rock without compromising melody and harmony, SpoilSport makes speedy, catchy, fun songs that recall pre-MTV Go-Go's and The Ramones. These are AM Radio hits for a world that is sadly without AM Radio. On their debut 14-song album, They All Want Cake. The songs swing from the California splash of "This Summer" to the frantic sing-along of "I Ride The Train" to the fierce swagger of "Gone For Good". Forty-three minutes of instant summer, anytime!
"Two guys, two gals, sweet melodies, rocking guitars, beach-party drum beats. For those who like their Pop Rocks mixed with Pepsi... SpoilSport is dangerously cute or maybe cutely dangerous." - HANDSTAND COMMAND

Husker Du meets the Go-Gos and hits on John Doe
author: Timmybear
I don't really hear the X in this band (maybe a bit of John Doe, but no Exene - and though, as a 'mo, I AESTHETICALLY prefer Mr. Doe, Exene is the queen of the band to me...). However, the churning guitars and beats are very Charlotte/Jane/Gina, while the tunes and urgency, to me, are very Husker Du (I'm maybe the only person who thinks of the Huskers as a pop band, but, to me, they were). Neat stuff, and arriving just in time for summer to go bye-bye (arriving to ME, anyway).

Triumphant debut!
author: Punk Planet
Boston's SpoilSport uncorks it's boy-girl punk rock with the irreverence of the Ramones and the cavalier of a Chuck E. Cheese ball-pit. On They All Want Cake, the quartet races through 14 speedy rockers with a low-fi intesity and hand-clapping catchiness. The co-eds team chordy guitars with a frantic rhythm section and vocals by all four members. The result is sometimes gruff and raw, other times candied and gentle, but always harmonized and poppy. There is a bubbly spirit exploding from these songs, as Spoilsport plays them fast, loud and sweet. On the endlessly fun "Just Dance" the foursome commands in their wonderful back-and-forth "C'mon baby let the music find you/ Just dance/ C'mon baby leave the world behind you/ And if you lose conrol/ Well, there's nothing wrong with that/ So just dance." They All Want Cake is a triumphant debut, jumping with energy and bliss—and spoiling nothing.

Indulge in SpoilSport.
author: Go Metric!
The B-52's meet the Ramones and sing songs of summer, boys and candy (and in the case of "Boys On The Beach" boys AS candy). Even when love goes wrong, Spoilsport's songs are upbeat. They're kind of like Cub in that regard, or maybe Lisa Mahr's first post-Cub band, Buck. Forget your diet, indulge in some SpoilSport.
