“Spencer’s a suave sonofabitch as well. He comes on greasy and strong. His music’s undeniable sweat, swagger and reverence are menacing. And though something of an iconoclastic cult figure, Spencer has no underlying motive beyond diggin’ the kicks the music brings. It happens every time.

“I know once we get started playing, I’m just going to feel swept away,” Spencer says from his home in New York. “It’s just the music. I don’t know how to explain it any differently. It really just makes me feel so good.”” – Frank De Blasé / RochesterCityNewspaper.com
