Spanish Gamble release title track from “It’s All Coming Down,” their new album on Paper + Plastick!
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Gainesville, Florida’s Spanish Gamble have posted the title track to their debut full length “It’s All Coming Down.” You can check out the final version of the song on the band’s MySpace page.
“It’s All Coming Down” is scheduled to be released early December via the band’s new home, Paper + Plastick Records.
Spanish Gamble originally formed under the moniker Dirty Money in 2007 after founding members Ryan and Colin left their native New Mexico. Cutting their teeth playing around Gainesville and eventually growing restless at home, they embarked on several self-booked tours, taking them across the US several times in the last two years and building their reputation as one of the most roadworthy young bands in today’s punk scene.
As Dirty Money, they self-released their first EP, “Far From Home,” as well as two split 7 inches (one with underground hip-hop artist GDP and the other with the UK’s OK Pilot on Fail Safe Records).
In late 2008, the three-piece added a fourth member and began writing for a full-length. The band and songs had evolved and taken on a new life to a point where a name change seemed necessary. They decided on Spanish Gamble as their new chosen name and drew a line between their past and the future. Their influences are eclectic, yet their sound is cohesive. While the members are not all Gainesville natives, they fit in nicely with the scene of gruff and catchy music found in the southern punk mecca. They spent a considerable amount of time demoing the songs for It’s All Coming Down with Roger Lima (Less Than Jake/Rehasher) before venturing across the desert to Oakland, CA, where they recorded the final versions for the album with Ryan Massey (American Steel) at his Sharkbite Studio.
Spanish Gamble are currently booking a tour to support “It’s All Coming Down.” Most of the dates are filled but at time of press the band is still working out the details for some of the dates. They will also be performing once again at THE FEST 8 over the coming Halloween weekend in Gainesville, FL. You can click “more” below for the dates.
