(Self-released, 2012)
“Worry Fill My
Heart,” the latest release from the ever entrepreneurial Spring
Offensive, continues the band's knack for packing all of their songs
to the gills with poignant real life sentiments while being
impossibly catchy. Making ends meet, being stuck in a dead-end job,
identity crisis - they weave all of these topics into an epic modern
tale, with jerky call and response guitars and some of the most
impressively concise songwriting in Oxford. The contrasting breezy
production helps to offset the heavy subject matter to make this an
unlikely foot tapper. B-side “Carrier” is just as good and
perhaps twice as emotive. Both songs are also accompanied by
excellent videos and once again prove Spring Offensive to one of the
most ambitious bands in town. Show me a better indie band in Oxford
right now – oh, you can't.
