If you like The Vaccines and The Killers then you are gonna love Spector! After a couple of unsuccessful cracks with both 'Les Incompetents' and 'Ox.Eagle.Lion' and a failed career as a Where's Wally impersonator (this may not be entirely correct), lead singer Fred Macpherson is pulling out all the stops this time.
Following a tad of soul searching, Macpherson decided to write songs inspired by the music from his adolescence. "It was about trying to connect with what music was from 2001 to 2003 - The Strokes, The Rapture, The Von Bondies, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, music for my 15 year old self," he discloses. What he forgot to mention was the fact that the songs he had written were absolute belters. Debut single 'Never Fade Away' is a storming anthem of a love song, narrated perfectly by Macpherson. "You know I’ll never fade away, but if I do, it'll be because you ask me to."
Seeing as they're off to support Kaiser Chiefs as well as having an album in the pipeline for release early next year, it's time to get excited. After all, Fred's gang may just be here for quite some time. Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it: Spector - the future of independent music.
