“A theatrical indie pop band that embrace’s life’s misinterpretations and messiness…their noise-pop jams remain as joyful as ever” – Pitchfork “The Spook School are that rare and beautiful thing: a band with something to say.” – The Guardian They are a queer indie-pop band that began in Edinburgh in 2010. After nearly a decade they concluded their initial chapter in 2019, but they are back (and living in Glasgow)! Their music explores themes of gender identity, queerness, and self-acceptance through energetic, melodic pop that blends humour with emotional honesty. Over the years, The Spook School became known for using indie-pop as a platform for trans visibility, inclusion, and joy. They released three albums — on record labels Fortuna POP! and Alcopop Records in the UK and Europe, Tugboat Records in Japan, and Slumberland Records in North America — and toured extensively across the UK, USA, Canada and Europe. Their songs reached audiences worldwide, with over five million streams for the single I Want to Kiss You. They were also nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year in 2018 for their last record ‘Could it be Different’.
