The Spook School were a British four-piece indie pop band from Edinburgh, Scotland.[3] The name is a reference to the Glasgow School.[2]
The band's lyrics explore "gender, sexuality and queer issues"[3] with themes such as "fluidity and the lack of a binary in gender".[2]
Their music is often compared to bands on the C86 compilation, such as The Shop Assistants, as well as The Buzzcocks;[3][4][5] the band also lists David Bowie as an influence.[2]
