Island trio, Reminders<\/strong> have announced new single \u2018Carousel<\/strong>\u2019 via Burger Records<\/strong> today after signing with the US label back in 2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since forming in 2017 on the Isle of Wight, the three teenagers Leo Dyke (vox\/guitar), Theo Afsarian (bass), and Harry Spencer (drums) have been taking their suburban teenage boredom out on their instruments fuelled by both 90s East Bay and 70s East Coast Punk scenes, Green Day, Ramones and The Cure. Their \u2018beach punk\u2019 sound was cultivated on the pebbles because literally everything happens on the Isle of Wight at the beach.<\/p>\n

New single Carousel took direct influence from this with songwriter, Leo Dyke\u2019s experience operating rides aged 16 at a children’s funfair called Peter Pans:<\/p>\n

\u201cI would literally sit and watch the wheels go round, having mundane and dull thoughts while getting sunburnt and watching other people enjoy their summer,\u201d explains Dyke. \u201cEveryone\u2019s on a different carousel, it\u2019s a metaphor asking if the routine you’re stuck in that’s going round and round will ever break, or if you just sit there and let it continue to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The most generic modern punk clich\u00e9 is ‘suburban teenager hates hometown with nowhere to go’ and being from the IOW means that Reminders pretty much are that clich\u00e9 incarnate as a band. The whole place is one big suburb leading to nowhere that you can never afford to leave, but that abandoned seaside holiday town that hasn’t been touched for decades will always be home.<\/p>\n

Following their previous independent releases, Water Sports<\/em> and Major Cities<\/em>, their new home of Burger Records will be channelling the trio\u2019s next three singles starting with Carousel.<\/p>\n
