This fusion of styles along with Spencer’s unique sound in his new upcoming album Empty Chairs embodies this gritty, introspective style with electrifying guitar, punchy riffs, soaring organ, dynamic vocals, and an explosive rhythm section.

Released on Friday September 26, 2025, the new single “What You Do” makes you question when we say we are fine, are we really? Or are we just trying to save others over ourselves? We think we are doing the right thing, by holding up a lie, but we aren’t! “What You Do” is a high energy blues rock song that’s meant to bring your attention to the guessing game we all play and being able to see right through someone.
“What You Do” is available on all streaming platforms HERE.
