“Drink it all in, you’ll never get the taste out of your mouth.” Sung with distorted vocals and heavy feedback, it’s a pretty good lyric for the week Donald Trump officially becomes president, and Bristol post-punk band Spectres’ dark, foreboding music seems to fit our current dystopia pretty perfectly. 

The band have a relentless, pounding and droning sound that utilises feedback and heavy distortion to create an industrial level of noise that almost veers towards a brutal form of techno at times (lead singer Joe Hatt has described it as “brutalising” guitars). The sheer volume and variety of noise Spectres create means you find yourself getting lost (although consumed may be the better term) in the punishing sounds as they crash over you. It’s not an easy listen, but it is certainly not a forgettable one. Their videos are sick (interpret that as you will) too.
