Spy 51 - Press Release, May 2004
‘Want Some’ out June 14 th on Double R Records / Shellshock (Cat: RRR03)
If you like soaring dramatic choruses, urgent passionate vocals, thrusting guitars, and the occasional Duran Duran-esque interlude, then look no further…. Spy 51 have emerged from their North London studio with an exhilarating set of new tracks that should melt even the frostiest of hearts.
Vocalist Lea Andrews surpasses herself with another delivery of such cracked allure it seduces you whatever your persuasion. And she then goes on to display yet more emotional depth and range on an acoustic demo of Rain And Sun. As ever, her partners in pop magic are guitarist Charley Stone (ex Gay Dad and Salad) and golf-obsessed drummer Toby Sinden.
Put this on in the background while you ‘just check emails’ at your peril! ‘Want Some’ is a tongue-sizzling first taste of a full-length album that builds on the promise of last year’s ‘We Jet Hem’ … and then some!
The tracklisting is:
- Want Some
- I Appreciate That
- Rain and Sun (demo)
“Lead singer Lea Andrews is SPY 51’s secret weapon, one minute sultry and soothing, the next wantonly impatient elevating the band into the realms of something quite glam and consistently magnificent.” KKKK – Camilla Pia, Kerrang!
“What SPY 51 excel at is whipping up a froth of pop magic with heart wrenching tugs of longing and loss…melodic majesty but fitted with razor sharp bite.”– James Jam, NME
“This mini-album oozes promise, boasting the angelic vocals of keyboardist and bassist Lea Andrews, laying comfortably on top of the buoyant yet cavernous backdrop. Remember the name SPY 51, you may soon be hearing a lot more.” - Rock Sound
“Opener ‘A.D.A’ sounds a lot like the best song the Manics never wrote…” - Bullit
