When not writing, recording and releasing solo material, Thomas keeps himself busy with Brakes, Electric Soft Parade, Restlesslist and Clowns to name just a few.  Truly one of Britain's most versatile musicians.

New acoustic EP from the amazing Spires.

Not much in life is guaranteed although I'm putting my head on the block and suggesting the new EP from Spires will be absolutely incredible. Although a progressive metal band, based on the details announced, the new record will transcend all genres. 

If you want to know what all the fuss is about before April, head to one of the bands forthcoming gigs listed below.     













SPIRES ANNOUNCE LIMITED EDITION 'LUCID ABSTRACTIONS' ACOUSTIC EP

Manchester based progressive metallers SPIRES will self release a new EP in April that will be limited to 500 copies only, as-well as made available digitally via iTunes, Spotify and more. Vocalist/guitarist Paul Sadler commented "we have a suitably pretentious title: 'Lucid Abstractions'. It's gonna be 5 tracks, which is 4 brand new, and an acoustic version of Spiral Of Ascension from the debut album. It's gonna be purely acoustic, with prominent use of cello, female vocals and percussion. The EP will have an ethereal, dream-like quality that I think our fans will appreciate as a natural progression from some of the lighter moments from 'Spiral...'. Artwork will be by Daniella Morrison (who previously did the cover art for ‘Spiral...’)”.

 The band will also play a short string of acoustic gigs and radio appearances in the next couple of weeks:
  
SPIRES ACOUSTIC

 Jan 29th – Preston, Dog & Partridge (All Ages, onstage at 5pm)
Jan 31st – In Studio guests on the SIKO WARD show on The Cat Radio.
Feb 2nd – Manchester Grand Central
Feb 3rd – Stoke The Green Star
Feb 5th – In Studio guests with Steve Oliver on The Sunday Alternative on Trent Sound.

As-well as full ‘regular’ sets at:

Feb 22nd – Bury Hark To Towler
Feb 23rd – Edinburgh Bannermans

Keeping back on the full electric side of things SPIRES’ track ‘The Infinite Descent’ is about to be launched into the ROCK BAND Network on the ROCK BAND 3 game on Xbox360 and PS3 and will be available for purchase and download in mid February and the guys will play a handful more UK/IRE shows TBA soon in March and April before returning to the studio to focus on recording album number 2.
