Formed in 2012 by frontman Matt Stevenson, Spires brings uncommonly groovy beats to the Brooklyn psych rock scene. For a young band that has only officially released two songs, they’ve got a lot of accomplishments under their (likely fringed) belts. Spires has played big venues like Irving Plaza and Bowery Ballroom, they toured alongside UK buzz act TOY, they’re amassing a following in England, and they performed a late-April gig with UK-based The Horrors at House of Vans. In the interview we are linking to under this blurb, the band promised a new release in 2014. While waiting, you can see them live at The Wick in Brooklyn on May 15.
