SPECTRALS TOUR WITH GIRLS
Acting as a neat precursor to the release of TLV035, the Fair Ohs/Spectrals split 7″, Spectrals go out on tour next week with Girls, playing two dates either side of three London shows. It’s a sporadic set of shows, taking in Brighton (Feb 22nd) and Southampton (Feb 25th), then Manchester (Mar 2nd) and Birmingham (Mar 3rd), in a sweet defiance of London-centricism (save the three dates in between, of course).
Significantly, the last of the dates in the capital is an all-day affair launching the zeitgeist-defining (although I know they’ll baulk at the claim) compilation released through Paradise Vendors and Italian Beach Babes; the labels run by Male Bonding and Conan Graffiti Island respectively. Here’s a link to details of that show, which you’d be a little foolish not to attend – there’s about a billion people already confirmed on Facebook as it is, if that means anything. You can also buy the record here, which features, among others, Spectrals, Fair Ohs, Not Cool, and Male Bonding and Graffiti Island themselves. And it’s £8. Deal!

It’s with absolute joy that we can announce the release of TLV035 – the next single in our Split 7″ series. This one features tropical punk bros Fair Ohs and Leeds’ very own one man Rat Pack, Spectrals. Each band contributes two tracks to the record, with Fair Ohs’ infinite summer sun bombs offset beautifully against Spectrals’ surf-style slow jamz. Yep, it’s a pretty special record.
Artwork is provided courtesy of Male Bonding drummer and all round hero Robin Silas, assisted by our other favourite drummer Ralph Wilson (the man responsible for tons of Tough Love-related design, not least this very website). Big love to you both.
The record is now available for pre-order from our Shop here. All orders will be shipped one month prior to official release (Monday 22nd March) and we’ll also send you a code to download all of the songs for free. Keep checking the site for forthcoming information on some very exciting launch parties and a Spectrals tour with a band you all know and love…
