some of it was true!

Like raucous, pedal-happy punk?  Then lend an air to Speak & The Spells, a new West London threepiece with a lo-fi sound drenched in reverb and intense drum beats.  It’s the stuff of bloody noses, and smashed guitars at the end of every show. Psychedelic debut single She’s Dead tells a garish tale of a girlfriend gone to the grave, and her screwed-up boyfriend’s B&E into the cemetery she ends up in.  Brianna is another a classic anthem - raucous, nihilistic and dirty – but with some really nice guitar work thrown in for good measure.  Caleb Pink and Bee offer more considered instrumental melodies and a tinge of 70s surf rock.

If you want to see Speak & The Spells live and let loose, there’s a single launch party for She’s Dead at the Stag’s Head on Wednesday 3 March.  Also, make sure you read super ace’s blog about the band.
