Fawn Spots

**Fawn Spots** was a raw, energetic duo hailing from Oxford, England, known for their stripped-down post-punk noise and chaotic live energy. Active in the 2010s, the band consisted of Jonathan Sherwood (vocals/guitar) and Joanna Evans (drums), who delivered a visceral blend of distorted riffs, pounding rhythms, and Sherwood’s urgent, barked vocals. Drawing comparisons to DIY punk acts like The Fall or early Sonic Youth, they carved a niche with their lo-fi intensity and unpolished charm. Their 2015 debut album, *From Safer Place* (which shares its name with one of the tracks listed), captured their abrasive sound and cemented their reputation in the UK’s underground scene. Though they’ve been quiet in recent years, tracks like *Black Water* and *Wedding Dress* remain testaments to their knack for marrying melody with noise-rock grit.
