"Not to discredit the hundreds of bands with their  debut LP’s around the globe every year...You can’t help but stand up like a meerkat & listen when a band calls out across Lake Maggiore, North Italy & resonates to the rest of the world.  It is easy to cite influences, but the rush of Spectre’s dark poignant sound makes the hair on the back of your neck bristle. For 2024 the sharp urgency of this one-sided record might just be the voice of a generation.  My only complaint, I can’t play it loud enough!" -- James Dixon

Remember when Punk was as serious as a judge and a little spooky, creeped you out & made the hair on the back of your neck stand up? I love it when a band have the gonads to wack all their good stuff on one side & not drag it out with filler making a B side. Spectre belt out some really serious shit here with just 6 tracks. It’s a mammoth introduction from a bunch of guys from Como, Italy that makes you salivate & hope they get back in that morgue & pro-create some more. Luvit! Perfect! ***** — James Dixon

"Spectre comes from Como, a small town in the north of Italy, just a few inches away from Switzerland. Born as Croutons in 2013, they recorded three records with that monicker, Possible Mood Disorder (LP) in 2014, a 7” in 2016 and a CD, Murmuring Voices in 2018. Heavily influenced by bands like Adolescents, T.S.O.L. and early Dead Kennedys, they recently changed their name in Spectre, adding a dark tone to their songs and a Christian Death (Rozz era) feel, as stated by their promo tape Love is Dead released in a small amount of copies last year. Slow Emotional Death, available in September 2024, will be the second release of the newborn Venti3 label, run by Italian writer and punk journalist Stefano Gilardino.
