The Duke Spirit’s third and latest LP, entitled “Bruiser,” is available for streaming on SPIN Magazine’s First Spin. Check it out here!
“The Duke Spirit have spent the past 8 months whipping their new tunes into fighting shape. ‘We put our songs on a diet, got them lean, mean and hungry sounding,’ singer Liela Moss says of the dozen stripped-down tracks on the band’s new album “Bruiser.” ‘It feels like a different band - well we are a different group on this record.’ Bruiser marks a renaissance for all the Dukes: ‘We still think of ourselves as a rock & roll band, but the emphasis is totally on the roll this time around,’ guitarist Butler says.”
