Spence

"God, help me make it through this night, I've been smothered with lies." 

-Walk Away

Let me explain how I came across this little band from Los Angeles before I get into the nitty gritty. Yes, it's important. I'm all about a band that's real, and a band that's made up of down-to-earth members who like to get to know the people who listen to their music. I received a rather quirky, but warm message on facebook from Spence's vocalist, and he asked me to check out the band but not before we had a nice conversation about Papa Roach and small town venues. I'm not the only future fan he's stopped to talk to before introducing to his band either. This made me extremely happy, because it's rare to find someone as friendly and personable as one mister Daniel David. It helped that the music was awesome, too. I won't lie.

Spence is made up of Daniel David (as previously mentioned) on mic and guitar, John Huldt on guitar, Kelly Mead on bass, and Michael Laylee on drums. This is a band that's very involved with their fans, and that's key to success of course. A band is it's live show, and without devoted fans there's no show. Their modest fan base is full of most obviously devoted people, and I'm definitely one of those people.

Their sound is very guitar driven like a nice, typical rock band but is accented with just the right amount of synthesizers and electronic reverb. Daniel has a strong but oddly gentle voice that is powerful but never overbearing, he brings just the right energy to the music, just enough grunge to tease.
