Indie-pop four piece Spinn have been steadily growing their reputation as Liverpool’s next big act over the last few months. With a constant trickle of single releases, including ‘Green Eyes’, ‘Bliss’ and ‘Home’, the band have followed up with another catchy hit that will surely have you singing in the shower. The single launch for Spinn’s newest release, ’Notice Me’, was marked with a line up…
