Spektr album hits hard

The B/W Vs Technicolour album is finally out and through Dutch customs. The record got picked up by Radio6, which is a public broadcast station in Holland and we didn't even had to plug it at the station! The first issue of 500 copies is almost sold out already.

Spektr is also asked to play on the Dutch ZXZW festival in Tilburg in September so we're trying to get the band to tour Holland and Belgium/Germany around that time. If you can help out, please contact us at bookings@tocado.com

Spektr was also featured on de luisterpaal and reached nr.4!
