Spanish band Zipper have delighted me with their live appearances and releases over the past couple of years. They certainly know how to put the fun into indiepop and their new single Last Chance for Friday’s Badge is no exception. It must be the first concept single I have come across as the EP’s title is spread across the names of the three tracks here. The first two tracks Friday Night and Last Chance deliver the bands Buzzcock influenced (s)punky pop sound over songs that last for little over two minutes which means a big, big thumbs up in my book. They slow things down on final track The Badge but the joint vocals work to great effect especially when M Mar’s voice kick in as the guitars start to fuzz and the chorus starts.  It’s an indie pop anthem alright! An excellent release on an excellent label. Indie MP3

Zipper is Maria, David and Oscar.  Happy punk pop? Is how Zipper describes itself.  They believe that music should be fun.  Last Chance for Friday’s Badge is their seventh release and the fun just keeps on coming. Indie pop that you can sing along to. Could you ask for anything more?
