In today’s Soundbites – our look back at the past week’s news, features, videos and tabloid gossip – Foo Fighters interrupt Belfast’s dinner, there’s a few unwelcome returns, the lights go out on Noel Gallagher, Spector’s debut album is reviewed, and the spotlight is shone on this week’s most popular video.
Few indie bands have been as well-hyped in recent years as Spector.
Telegenic, impeccably styled in a la mode suits and leather shoes, and occupying a berth on the BBC’s Sound of 2012 list, they seem almost too vogue to be believed.
Whether you’ve succumbed to the publicity or not is now irrelevant however, because their debut album is here – there’s no longer any pithy witticisms or ham-handed proclamations to hide behind; just 12 songs that constitute ‘Enjoy It While It Lasts‘.
UK newcomers Spector have landed at number one on this week’s UK Record Store chart with their debut album ‘Enjoy It While It Lasts‘.
Spector have announced a large tour of the UK to begin later this year with their debut album ‘Enjoy It While It Lasts‘ due for release next month.
Spector have today released the full details of their debut album, which will be released this summer.
Spector have announced a headline UK tour for this May, which will precede a series of festival dates for the band.
