FROM SAFER PLACE

If you've been to a small DIY/punk show in the UK in the last four or five years, there's a strong chance you'll have been bludgeoned by the force of Fawn Spots' live show. In a sector of the music community which is fuelled by the blood, sweat and tears of a clutch of hard-working individuals, the perma-touring York trio are one of the most industrious bands around, with a string of releases to their name, as well as co-running the prolific (and excellent) label Bad Paintings.
