Spin Class reveal frenetic new single ‘Bagel Bagel Bagel’

APRIL 25th 2025

Bristol-based rock four-piece Spin Class are excited to announce the release of their new single ‘Bagel Bagel Bagel’, on April 25th 2025, taken from their upcoming second EP ’Dinner At Derek’s’ out later this year.

Formed in 2023, Spin Class’ sound combines proggy riffs and hook-heavy melodies baked in a grunge sprinkled, desert rock confection. Their songs touch on the topic of the mind’s eye, breathing life into an ‘ADHD-fuelled, visually stimulating riff machine’. 

In December of 2024 they released their debut six-track EP ‘Wednesday’, which saw them sell out their first headline launch show at Bristol’s Loco Klub. Proud of the artistic melting pot they call their hometown, the band have been determined to work with local musicians, illustrators and more to elevate their work and artistic community in Bristol.

With ‘Bagel Bagel Bagel’, the band wanted to capture the frenetic energy of their live show, opting to record the track live in its entirety with Josh Gallop (Krooked Tongue, Phoxjaw, Sergeant Thunderhoof) at Stage 2 Studios in Bath.

On the single’s lyrical inspirations, vocalist and lyricist Louis Slater says, “Do you ever feel like a bagel? A soft, round but delicious outside with a hole in the middle where all the bits should be? Now times that feeling by three and you get Bagel Bagel Bagel. The majority of our lyrical inspirations are a retelling of our inner experiences and in this belter it’s paired with humour with lines like ‘Ain’t the mix that makes the bread, hole in the bagel.’ This song is the perfect way to start the next chapter of Spin Class. It’s punchy and energetic with a layer of frustration, yet it’s a song that’s designed to light you up.There’s humour in the musicality with the fast paced, punky rhythms and the call and response between guitar and vocals, and the last section switches from punk to a sludgy, doomy breakdown which drops all the metaphors in its final exclamation.”

On their decision to record live the band explain, “For this track we wanted to write an intense, in your face punk song and go in the live-recorded direction, bands like Soundgarden and Led Zeppelin and how they recorded tracks being a heavy influence for us. This approach has been something we’ve never done before but felt very natural. We’re a live band first at the end of the day, and capturing that raw energy in production was essential. The result bounces between overstimulated punk intensity with each violent transition amplifying the live feel we’ve wanted to capture at gigs and rehearsals.”
