Duke Spirit, The
Nov 29, 2010
In anticipation of a new three-track EP, Kusama, dropping December 7th and a full length album coming early in 2011 via Shangri-La Music, The Duke Spirit offered a free song download of their single "Everybody's Under Your Spell" for download via www.thedukespirit.com. The London five-piece fronted by Leila Moss then made another new song "Procession" available via Levi's. The rocking track is from their forthcoming 2011 album entitled, Brusier. A third new song "Villain" is being offered for download on SPIN.com.
The Duke Spirit's third album is the follow-up to Neptune, which garnered the band critical praise and brought the band into millions of living rooms across America with TV performances on The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Last Call with Carson Daly.
The Los Angeles Times has said of their live shows, "The British quintet plays ragged soul-punk with an absolute firecracker of a lead singer," and SPIN called their music, "Fully loaded Jesus and Mary Chain-fried fuzz." Moss's commanding stage presence is truly unmatched; her all but swaggering demeanor, striking looks and heart wrenching (and heartfelt) voice leaves crowds in the palm of her hand."
The band premiered new songs during shows in New York and Los Angeles earlier this month. The Duke Spirit will headline the NME Awards Show on February 3, 2011.
The first single "Everybody's Under Your Spell" will be impacting Alternative radio in January.
