SPECTACLE, THE "I, fail" CD

Just one year after the release of their first full-length, The Spectacle have once again re-invented punk rock with their latest release "I, Fail." For those of us who fell in love with their last album, this will not let you down, firing through some of the darkest, most furious and poetic songs we've heard in a long time. With their dynamic guitar layering, a devastating rhythm section, and a plethora of different vocal styles that shred beautifully over the dark tones of each track, these six boys from Norway have made a record with a kind of passion and energy that is unmistakable. We are very excited to be able to release this record, and we hope it will give you the courage and inspiration to create your own music (and a new world) like it has us.

The Spectacle was an anarchist punk band from Bodø, Norway. They existed from 2000 to 2006. They incorporated punk with avant-garde post-rock. They experimented with dynamic guitar-layering, a devastating rythm section and a plethora of different vocal styles that can be heard through their songs. The band had an important role in bringing to life a punk network and introducing do-it-yourself ethics, anarchism and animal rights to the most northern part of Norway. On the 9th of June 2006 they played their last concert ever in their hometown of Bodø.

The name is inspired by the book The Society of the Spectacle, written in 1967 by the French situationist Guy Debord.
