Spanish Love Songs

Los Angeles-based self-proclaimed "grouchrock" outfit Spanish Love Songs continue the emotional punk tradition started by groups such as Jawbreaker and Hot Water Music. Emerging in the early 2010s, the band has issued a string of acclaimed efforts like 2015's Giant Sings the Blues, 2018's Schmaltz, 2020's Brave Faces Everyone, and 2023's No Joy that pair earworm hooks with existential dread.
