Spring Break are a vaguely outrageous, psychedelic 3 piece folk funk outfit, hand crafting screwball anthems deep in the Highlands of Scotland. Amalgamating a wealth of experience in vocal performance and musicianship, whilst fusing the hip hop languages of scratching, beat-boxing and lucid lyricism with the foibles of apathy and the implied abuse of aquatic life.

The understated yet exacting playing of musical director Ben Hesling is expertly crafted and instantly absorbed, whilst the powerful control of Emily Mackinnon’s vocals is grippingly emotive, yet embossed in subtlety. Butterscotch’s painstaking personal raps pepper the songs with a graceful intensity amidst a smattering of turntablism.

All the while production mastermind Thelonious Rumpus oversees the proceedings atop his plush dental throne, with a broad technical expertise and cask conditioned understanding of music.
A sound as rich and invigorating as volleying a cricket ball through the windscreen of an arsehole’s stationery Land Rover. Together they present a jubilant floral tribute to the not yet deceased.

Spring break are ready to be released into the wild. 
Embrace them with love and wonder like a neon spaniel pup.

Smells Like Chinese Teen Spirit

Track I wrote for Keor Meteor's competition, got a bit carried away. Fairly important to me these lyrics. Free Download from http://sinopticmusic.bandcamp.com/album/we-dont-do-s-t-hip-hop-vol-6-freep

Things bin getting kinda hectic since I’m 26/
Quitting jobs for hip-hop, refuse to live on benefits/
When is this, gonna slow down, and let me live/
I wanna settle down with my wife, pets and kids/
Time’s a sedative, and a narcotic/
I can’t stop it, it’s biologic, my life’s like a dark comic/
Hero gets the girl but she’s second to his obsession/
Regretting my indiscretions, I’m meant to be winning bread and
Instead I’m hangin round wi living legends, I used to give em lessons/
...Now I’m just a secretary sittin stressin/
And it’s driving me nuts, got no time for this stuff/
When WYcypher is finally cut/
And I’ve written every rhyme that I should/
And Sinoptic stops climbing and such/
Maybe I’ll finally retire from my love/
But...I can’t see it f-in happenin/
And it’s another day graftin to squeeze some talent in/
...And it’s another day not seeing Angela/
And it’s another day she thinks maybe I’m not the man for her/
Since I sat back, do fuck all for us and make her manager/
And barely put a moment aside for us to have some fun/
But I’ma marry her and make sure there’s no more nonsense/
So conscious i’m a twat, I got my own monsters/
My own demons, but who hasn’t/
Who hasn’t
...
 
Who hasn’t got a cross to bear/
Who hasn’t got a problem that they want to share/
Who hasn’t got on a train and been shocked at the cost of fares/
Who hasn’t got the lyrics memorised from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air/
We share a similar plight,
And always take it for granted when we’re feeling alright/
And that shit isn’t right/
I wanna wake up every day like I’m on MDMA/
Be happy I’m alive and smile at everyone on the way/
The complexities of me just comprehending this are vast/
My existence at all is so improbable in fact/
I’m more likely to win all the lotteries
from Dusseldorf to Coventry
than exist biologically
Holy crap/
So I’ll keep making tracks to jog my memory/
That it’s perfection from the moment I became an entity
So what’s the meaning of it all, that’s for you to decide
Humans were only created to observe the beauty of life//
