The School – All I Want From You Is Everything

Brand new single from The School featuring four tracks including two tracks taken from their forthcoming album as well as covers of Knickers Baby Don’t Hold Your Breath For Me and Carole King’s Crying In The Rain. I Will See You Soon is the best track here and grabs me more than the title track. It’s all undeniably The School who rarely veer away from their 1960’s girl band influenced brand of indiepop. But if it ain’t broke………… It’s available as a limited edition 7″ single or digitally. Buy the 7″ from here Facebook Soundcloud Continue reading The School – All I Want From You Is Everything

The School – Never Thought I’d See the Day

Back to the track. The 7″ single itself is sold out but the album it’s taken from, Reading Too Much Into Things … Continue reading The School – Never Thought I’d See the Day
