Aaron Spectre, Music To Make Punks Cry.
I met Aaron a few years ago when I was working for a small music magazine. I was a massive fan, despite having only heard one track by him, a dirty little ditty called Say More Fire/Music Is The Weapon.
His drum programming blew the cobwebs out of my ears and set an impossibly high standard for any electronic music that I was to hear afterwards.
I’d be at parties, and people would play really breaky pieces, to which I would always reply: ” tis good, but the drums aren’t as good as Aaron Spectre”
We all agreed.
The piece that I wrote for the magazine was cut by the editor, it was supposed to be a 2 page spread.
My editor was obviously thick, simply because he would have been able to scoop magazines like Knowledge and Vice, three years before they caught wind of the underground sounds of Spectre.
Aaron’s style continues to evolve and despite being a hardcore legend, he is a creative genius with a nice personality to boot.

His blog is really worth a read because it touches on the problems and joy’s of being an independent.
He is extremely hard working and is amazing live, he plays all over all the time, so check out his tour dates.
And if you dont believe me ask that wench Mary Ann Hobbs.
