The Spook School

"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 "Societal norms and gender stereotypes are in the crosshairs of these threadbare tunes...trans love songs that hit home no matter your orientation." - NPR "Dance music for introverts, love songs for people who are too shy to be in love" - Stereogum The Spook School are Nye Todd (guitar/vocals), Adam Todd (guitar/vocals), Ally (AC) Cory (bass/vocals) and Niall McCamley (drums). 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'.
