SpiritOil is a two-piece post-punk/alternative band from Surrey, UK. The band formed at university after members Cameron Day (Vocals & Bass) and James Starkey (Drums) discovered they were from the same town, but just hadn’t met yet. Drawing comparisons to bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode and Demob Happy, recent highlights include radio play for ‘For Your Own’ on BBC Introducing Sussex & Surrey with Melita Dennett, support shows with Courting, Gans, and Dead Air, and performing at Pub-In-The-Park Festival Reigate 2025. The band's latest release, ‘Youth Issues’, combines a multitude of grooves and distortions that come with youth culture and experience.
