Alex Spencer – ‘Nightmares’ / New Single

At 17 years of age, Alex Spencer is one of the UK’s most promising songwriters.

Discovered while busking on the streets of Manchester, Alex combines infectious guitar riffs along with a natural ability to craft catchy songs with a lyrical prowess beyond his years. 

Last week Alex released his latest single “Nightmares” and it’s yet another absolute banger.

With a Reverend and The Makers vibe at the start, the song is based on a ghoulish nightmare he had before going to the recording studio. There’s even a couple of verses in Spanish. It’s a brilliant, catchy two minute banger that’s already proving to be a live favourite. 

I had the pleasure of watching Alex headline Manchester Academy 3 this past Friday and it was a set of youthful exuberance with a devoted audience who loved every minute. 

With a talent like Alex, local music is in a very good place. “Nightmares” is available to stream now.

  1. You captured his performance perfectly. I attended as his invited guest, having interviewed him back in December. His genius shone out and, as you say, Alex is a force to be enjoyed, right to your core. Just seen as shot of Marc Bolan at the microphone…..there’s something in Alex that was in Marc….clone or what?

    • Glad you enjoyed the review Mike! Alex definitely seems like someone to keep an eye on over the next few years.

    • Cheers Mike. Yeah I’ve seen Alex a few times live. An amazing talent. The production too on this track is just first class.
