SPAYED

lyrics with no sense.
tortured angst.
broken strings.
underground mind.
throated fury not-so blues sound.
SPAYED could go from catchy blues scales to real throated fury grunge in a measure or less. no one, not any of the hundred other alternative bands out there has the ability to get to that unique climax. you want a true alternative band? here you have it. SPAYED is more likely to release songs on tape or vinyl than cd format.
