Release date: March 28th, 2025
Straight outta Montreal, Canada, Spleen is a one supergroup featuring
members of local royalties such as punk bands *Béton Armé* and *Puffer *and
black metal acts *Conifère *and Vespéral.

Formed in 2022 and taking their name from Paris Spleen by Charles
Baudelaire, they released their first cassette on Roachleg Records in 2023
delivering five post-punk cuts inspired by the colder aspect of french
bands like *Camera Silens*, DEM and later-era Blitz.
Having added a new, sixth member on synthesizer, their second demo was
released on Roachleg again just one month ago, taking on new influences
from 60’s and 80’s psych garage rock and developing a unique sound not
easily categorizable.

Not unlike the latest Duke of Oi! EP by Criminal, picture French
skankin' punk rockers from the 80s (I’m thinking Identité X) meeting
somewhere cold with the California dreamers from the Paisley Underground (*The
Dream Syndicate*, of course) and you’ll get the vibe.
And if you think this is odd for people playing also in Oi and BM groups
just remember that Blitz first covered Lou Reed's Vicious back in 1982 so
you should not be surprised.

With everything just said we simply couldn't back out of pressing both
EPs on one tasty 12” vinyl compilation, one demo per side, with new
sci-fi-influenced artwork by the band’s own Dan and Mathias.

Demos LP is out March 28 2025 on black vinyl limited to 500.
