DEAD SPEX

Dead Spex are a pretty cool band from Nottingham, UK. They started doing stuff in like june of this year. For only three members, bass, guitar and drums they sure have a lot of noise, and even more attitude.

They're the chameleons' (my favourite venues) "house band" and play what they call SPAZZ POP; 2 and a half minute sprints of tuneful bass driven punk with lots of frenetic riffs and gang vocals (mostly shouting)and visceral screaming while jumping about like At the Drive In. I guess it could be seen as punk-pop at its best with heavy 80s hardcore influence and some 90s emo elements too. Blakfish and Meet Me in St Louis and some other bands I can't quite think of right now.

Live they come into their element, really intense and raw, going pretty mental, breaking their teeth on their instruments (no really...) its mental in the best way possible. Delightful chaps aswell. rock and/or roll! Download their ep "Rats Together" HERRRRRRE
