Spectres announce UK tour to support release of debut LP Dying

16 December 2014, 13:23 | Written by Laurence Day

Bristol-based noise peddlers Spectres recently announced the release of their debut record called Dying. Now they've followed that up with some brand new tour dates for February/March 2015.

Speaking about their impending album, the band's Joe Hatt said:

“When people hated us we just played harder. We want to snap people out of their comfort zones. We want our noise to smack the spoon out of their mouths that is feeding them the warm diarrhoea that is served by start-up PR companies. We want people to have to notice and have to react, not look at their phones or talk their friend who is looking at their phone.... it’s not a concept album, but there’s a theme running through it that is summed up in the title. The majority of the songs are pretty literal to my life and the scenarios of people close to me. I wouldn’t say it’s depressing, though. Lyrically, it was really cathartic to write."

Dying is due out 23 February on Sonic Cathedral.
