Wild Spelks + Mt. Misery

Formed in 2020, Newcastles' Wild Spelks is the solo material vessel of songwriter/musician/producer Jonathon Sabiston. What started as a collection of voice notes and demos expanded exponentially upon the release of their debut single, ‘The Happy Places’. Picking up support from the likes of Clash Magazine, CLOUT, Narc Magazine and Yack Magazine, the project quickly developed into a full live band culminating in selling out their debut headline show in Newcastle.

When performing live, Wild Spelks are lucky to have had a rotating line-up of North East musicians from such bands as Them Things, Sam Fender, The Welcome Party, Holy Moly & The Crackers and more.

Eager to maintain their early upward trajectory, Wild Spelks have regularly followed up their notable debut with the release of a successful string of standalone singles over the past few years including ‘Turn It Around’ (2020), ‘Dreamer’ (2021), Nine By Sixteen (2021), ‘Hail Mary’ (2022), and ‘Black Spores’ (2022). 2024 Marks the release of their debut EP, in which this show is a celebration of.

‘Getting The Band Back Together Again’ was the final single to be taken from Wild Spelks’ debut EP A House Full Of Strangers.

The EP was produced, mixed, and mastered by songwriter/musician/producer Jonathon Sabiston throughout 2023 at home in his Newcastle flat, with drum takes recorded at Blank Studios, Newcastle with engineer Chris McManus (Pit Pony, Du Blonde, TV Death). The final single follows on from previously-released tracks ‘Take It From A Friend’ and ‘Help Myself’ which were released earlier this year and picked up support from alternative tastemakers at Rock Sound, VISIONS, NARC. Magazine, Already Heard, God Is In The TV Zine, Maximum Volume and more.
