Spud Davenport is a singer, songwriter, and unapologetic truth-slinger from Southern California, writing what he calls Rock Satire — music that puts a happy face on the mess of modern life. With tongue firmly in cheek and a heart somewhere between hopeful and hell-no, Spud writes songs that make you laugh, wince, and hum along while everything around you burns (melodically, of course).

Drawing influence from razor-sharp lyricists like Randy Newman, Ray Davies, Elvis Costello, and The Offspring, Spud blends sardonic storytelling with power-pop energy and a splash of theatrical absurdity. His tracks — like the frenetic and all-too-relatable “Car Wreck” or the wistfully biting “You’d Love Me Now (If You Knew Me Then)” — pack melody and meaning into tight three-minute gut-punches.

Whether he’s lampooning heartbreak, modern dating, or society’s slow collapse, Spud’s music always leaves room for the hook — and a wink. He writes for himself first, but welcomes any fellow travelers who enjoy smart, sardonic rock that’s a little too close to the truth.

So if you’re into catchy songs with clever lyrics, a crooked smile, and just enough self-awareness to sting — you’re in the right place.

Welcome to the wreckage.

Spud also enjoys a songwriting partnership with buddy Charlie Recksieck in the irreverent fun rock band, Leaders In The Clubhouse.

If the concept of a long-haired Randy Newman fronting a Rock Band from behind the drums sounds interesting to you, take a listen to Spud.
