'Pull Me In'

It’s pretty tragic such a Hollywood movie scene
Swore I wouldn’t let this devil get the best of me

It’s alright, it’s ok. I got this now
It’s alright, it’s ok, got hell to pay

Feels like a fever, love this deceiver, pull me in
Burned by desire, taken by the liar, pull me in

Take the wheel, I’ll take the ride, tell me what I need
Bright lights, gold lies, I can believe

Feels like a fever, love this deceiver, pull me in
Burned by desire, taken by the liar, pull me in

Maybe, I want to make believe
Maybe, I embrace the thieves

'Swear'

One for the money, two for the blow, I say three lets get ready Hollywood here we go
If I can dream, do you see it? Do you know what I mean? Yeah, here comes money

Oh I swear, It’s not the first time, but it’s the last time I let you in

I made a deal with the devil and here’s what he said
“Trade in your soul for the rings and the plastic wings”

So I’ve got this new dance sure to set the city on fire
at least that’s what he sold me

Oh I swear, It’s not the first time, but it’s the last time I let you in

Never again, I can’t stay quiet, Never again, I’ll break the silence

'Used to Ride'

Used to ride stars at night, now this fires not so bright
How do I let this go when it’s all that I know?

Yes I’m slowly fading

Wasting time, life passes by, slowest form of suicide
Wasting days in this grave, slowest form of suicide

Here I’ll stay in the past, where nothings good and nothing lasts
All the lies I believe bring me down to my knees

Wasting time, life passes by, slowest form of suicide
Wasting days in this grave, slowest form of suicide

Take me down under so I can crawl

So I lay here waiting, yes I’m slowly fading

‘Everything You Never Wanted’

No way no I’m not looking back, tied by a rope from the past
Take Take this noose off of my neck you won’t tie me down with regrets

This is how it has to be, nothing but a tragedy
Everything you never wanted
This is how it has to end, you and I never again
Everything you never wanted

Alone I go and here I stand to face my ways, it’s in my hands
Now we’re face to face and eye to eye, its time to take what’s mine

This is how it has to be, nothing but a tragedy
Everything you never wanted
This is how it has to end, you and I never again
Everything you never wanted

Spence 2011

2011-06-23T13:40:00.000-07:00

Starting out as a fledgling group in the environs of Los Angeles, Daniel David (vocals guitar), Kelly Mead (bass), and Michael Laylee (drums) set out to record a series of four songs alongside the talents of Brett Hestla (Creed , Framing Hanley, Dark New Day) in March 2011. Joining together the unique interplay of hard-hitting rock with the more eclectic tones noted in modern-day rock, Spence emerged on the Hollywood scene having established their talent under the banner of a new tonal range.

Marked by this distinct new sound, Spence quickly attracted the attention of Hollywood’s nightlife, playing at a variety of well-known venues, including The Roxy Theatre, The Whiskey, and The Viper Room. While the bright lights and multiple bookings earned Spence a certain level of notoriety, the foursome found the town lacking in possibilities. The growing buzz that was beginning to take hold beyond Los Angeles was largely silenced by a town that was set on molding the group to fit its own brand of artistic definition, a brand that Spence did not embrace as its own. The seduction of Hollywood’s myriad nightclubs continued to call, yet Spence found itself increasingly at odds with the city’s demands to quell their pursuit of authenticity. It quickly became clear to Spence that honoring their own definition of success would necessitate their departure from the illusion of Hollywood’s gleam. Thus the decision was made to reach out to the devoted fan-base that was rapidly growing beyond the borders of Los Angeles.

Today, Spence has garnered a broad and devoted fan-base that has re-affirmed their enticing brand of musical authenticity. They continue to pay homage to this devotion by touring various cities across the country, offering performances marked by the original sound that first enticed an audience. While the band’s career is still in its infancy, they continue to find inspiration in their fans who have made both their struggles and achievements worthwhile.

Spence recording with Brett Hestla(Creed, Framing Hanley, Dark New Day)

2011-03-14T13:31:00.000-07:00

So over the last few months we’ve received lots of messages on Myspace / Facebook / Twitter asking the question “When are you putting out more music??”

Let’s skip the foreplay and get right to it! Let’s talk about the huge news related to our next release.

What’s going to make this upcoming record different than the last? Hmmm???

We’re proud to announce we’re going to be working with the very talented Brett Hestla (Creed, Framing Hanley, Dark New Day)

We finished the demo stages here in Los Angeles a few months back in January. Now we’re waiting to head to Florida to do a little more pre-production and record with Mr. Hestla at the end of March.

A tour in the U.S will indeed follow up after we’re out of the studio, but we’ll save that tour details for another blog! : ]

We self produced ‘Everything You Never Wanted’ so we’re really stoked and looking forward to Brett producing this record.

Shoot us a message and let us know how you feel about this next upcoming record :)

'Everything You Never Wanted'

2010-10-12T11:57:00.000-07:00

Album: Everything You Never Wanted

Just The Same

last November, I remember, how we said this would last forever
this November, you surrendered, now we lay here barely breathing

maybe you were right, maybe I was wrong, it doesn't matter cause it kills me just the same

this December, I surrender, all the memories, we made together
it's not easy, we said forever, now I lay here, just to watch us die

maybe you were right, maybe I was wrong, it doesn't matter cause it kills me just the same

don't say it, don't say it, don't say we're dying

The Plead

just this once, would you come out clean and set me free
I don't ask for much no, just some lies I can believe

I don't want to fight it , hopeless and I like it

someone please rescue me, save me from myself I plead
take my hand, mend my heart, save me or I'll fall apart

say what you will, yes... everything that's wrong with me
I can take it, and maybe I'm so sick I like the pain

I don't want to fight it , hopeless and I like it

someone please rescue me, save me from myself I plead
take my hand, mend my heart, save me or I'll fall apart

So Jaded, I hate it, frustrated

Broke This

I saw you running and hiding, tearing us apart
you broke this, don't you deny it, every lie a scar

What do you want? what do you need? here I am one more time

tell me what it is you want from me
what ya got?

I saw this, it was invited, every lie I bought
you broke this, don't you deny it, can you see the scars?

Walk Away

why did you say the things you said?
then walk away with a smile?
what the hell was going through your head?
you assured me it's true

God help make it through this night
I've been smothered with lies
the damage your words have done

I could never walk away from you
hopelessly, I can say
I could never walk away from you
on this day, set me free

how did you look into these eyes
so sincere, and so kind?
tell me how it is you sleep at night?
with my blood on your hands

God help me find peace of mind
I'm so desperate to find
a reason for this tragedy

I'll find my way from you this time

What's the meaning Behind the name Spence?

2010-09-30T14:03:00.000-07:00

Good Day… err Evening! Wait.. What time is it where you’re at? *Phew* this is difficult.. : )

Let's get straight to the point! Over time we've received quite a few messages asking the question...

“Why did you guys pick the name Spence?”

We wanted to pick a name that had an innocent childlike vibe to it for a reason. When you're a child you don't know limitations, you believe in yourself and that you can do anything. As we start growing up it’s inevitable that we encounter moments in our lives that start to pollute our hearts and minds. Day by day we slowly start losing the spirit of "I can make anything happen".

Deep down everyone knows the reasons. We slowly get broken down. Family problems, sour friendships, break ups, financial issues, death, divorce, and everything in between.

With that being said, no matter how old and how many challenges we face, I believe we all still have some of that child like spirit within us

I feel it’s that part of you that tells you 'keep going and never give up on yourself'. That inner child that knows no limitations, and hasn't been exposed to the blackened hearts we're around everyday

I’m sure just about everyone has awakened that child at some point in time and defied the world that wanted to take everything away. The name Spence represents that fighting inner child for us. Maybe your inner child spirit has a different name? What ever it may be, you cannot deny that the spirit lives on within.

What's Your Favorite Venue for Live Music?

2010-09-22T11:47:00.001-07:00

Howdy Doo :)

The guys and I were talking about favorite venues the other day, so I thought why not post a blog about it? There are lots of great venues but there are some that stand out more than others. I’m sure lots of it has to do with preference and the vibe, so it’s probably different for everyone. Shoot.. it might even have to do with that one memory of you passed out naked on in the middle of the venue right?

Anyway, enough about my private matters ;) hahhh! j/k

I personally love the House of Blues on Sunset in Los Angeles! The sound mix is usually ace, and I don’t get watered down DRANKS . Ok... so maybe they aren’t the most unique reasons, but I’m a simple guy.. so there you have it : ]

So what’s your favorite spot to check bands out at and why do you like it so much? Don’t forget to tell us what part of the world you’re in!

Everyone lurks on their ex & Spence on Myspace/Facebook/Twitter ..right? ;)

2010-04-19T11:23:00.000-07:00

Check.. 1 ..2..3

Did you check up on your ex today on Myspace, Facebook or Twitter? Don’t lie about it either, I know you did! Hahh… I kidd 

Alright, so in one poorly written opening sentence I basically managed to make the big 3 social networks sound like stalking tools.

We all know they have meaningful uses beyond lurking on a person.. sometimes. ZING!

No but really, it’s amazing how much things have changed in the last 10 years. A few years ago you would have to wait for magazines or talk shows to know what your favorite celebs/artists were doing.

Now you can check on them on the network of your choice!

But.. It goes beyond celebs/artists because believe it or not.. there are most important people out there *cough* Family *cough* Friends* *cough* Spence (Yeah we’re in our own category) hahhh!

It’s the best way to stay in touch with family and friends! Nothing is more important than being able to be in contact with those people we love the most on a daily basis. Ok maybe weekly if it’s that ONE friend or ONE family member you don’t particularly like hearing from TOO often ;)

Me and the rest of the Spence guys talk to each other on a daily basis on Myspace or Facebook. I’ll tell ya it’s a damn good thing cause I can’t stand talking to any of them longer than a minute on the phone! *womp*womp* OH.. I Kidd! Much love to my kick ass band mates

So what do you use Myspace, Facebook, or Twitter for?

Keeping in touch with friends and family? Checking up on your favorite celebs?
Stalking/Lurking your ex? :x

Tell us how you do it! Oh.. and while you’re at it add us on every single one you have because we love being stalked! Haha
