Originating from Chesham, Loudness Wars takes a bold step into new territory with their new single “Spin You Around.” Renowned for a rock backbone, the group now shifts into synth-pop with an ease that feels both reflective and exuberantly up to date. The result is a vibrant, rhythm-driven piece that pulses with the spirit of early electronic music while remaining anchored in today’s sonic landscape.
Taking unmistakable cues from genre architects New Order, Depeche Mode, and Pet Shop Boys, the song channels the shimmering synth textures and dancefloor-geared aura that characterized late-80s/early-90s music. And there are echoes of "Broken Frame" and "Blue Monday" in its DNA, but nothing here feels like a copy. “Spin You Around,” meanwhile, feels like a celebration of that era, reinterpreted in modern recording and through an undeniably personal lens.
The change started in mid-2025, when the band took a brief break. Jay's bass player left to attend to personal matters, leaving him creatively unanchored. Instead of waiting, he dove into experimentation, writing several electronic songs in a matter of weeks. “Spin You Around” stood out as an upbeat, synth-driven departure from the typical guitar-heavy fare of Loudness Wars.
Behind the scenes, Jerome’s multifaceted role on guitars, vocals, and production locks the track into its polished but purposeful mode of transport, and a collective experience from Rich and Ian helps preserve any vestige of identity for this band. Dutifully rehearsing in Cat's homebase of Chesham, once or twice a month, their dedication is evident in every layered melody and thumping beat. With “Spin You Around,” the Loudness Wars show us that reinvention is an awakening.
