With this self titled track comes a bombardment of U.S guitar rock, tinged clearly with 80's New Wave British influences. We are lead in by a bass rift which echo's of Joy Division, and there is no denying a strong Cure feel to this amazingly vibrant song. There are of course some American influences evident too; the vocals are reminiscent of Arcade Fire in their haunting harmonies. There is a hungry sense of urgency conveyed through the up tempo beats and hearty vocals that gives this song an interesting edge. "It's like moving in a dream, you're asleep but your body doesn't know it," with their well written lyrics and catchy melodies this American band are definitely stirring up some interest.

Formally the Bad sects, after losing their bassist James Pelter, the remaining members Courtney Nore (Drummer and vocals) and Jim Reiley (Guitar and vocals), knew they still wanted to make music together. After changing their name and recruiting new bassist Brendan Evans their sound became stronger than ever.

The Pharmacy Spirits are from Lincoln in the U.S and their list of influences is as diverse as their sound, from T-Rex, Jesus and The Mary chain, to Bob Dylan and Nick Cave. This wide spectrum of sound is conveyed in their music, as people with a range of tastes, especially fans of 80's British new wave will appreciate what these guys are doing right now. Their EP "Every song ended in 1994", which consists of five spectacular tunes, is available now.
