Good Spells – ‘Monsters’ Is Out Now

Good Spells is a British music producer / artist / songsmith. Growing up in the North of England with stints in the Middle East (Kuwait and Bahrain), Good Spells’ youth was a mix of British and Arabic culture with Manchester, England becoming home in his later formative years. American friends influenced musical tastes early on, birthing a love of rock & metal, with Manchester’s world famous club culture solidifying a wide musical taste. New release ‘Monsters’ is a perfect example of this blend of genre and sonic aesthetic, with a mix that resembles an alt rock track but with R&B / pop elements.
