Originality and genuine love for the music: these are the two traits any band must possess in order to break through today’s cluttered music scene where a new act arises every two minutes. Philadelphia/Reading’s Flux Capacitor has both in abundance. The three-piece outfit, comprised of brothers Pete Specht on guitars and vocals, Jason Specht on drums, Mike Specht on keyboards, left-hand bass and backing vocals, combines a raw rock shred with ambient psychedelic effects and addicting, almost hypnotic singing. Throw in a high octane live show and thought-provoking lyrics (delving into topics as varied as a serious reflection of the world’s current affairs to dream states experienced by band members), and you have a hidden gem of a band that won’t stay hidden very long. Flux, cites musical influences ranging from 70’s prog-rock prodigies King Crimson to legendary stalwarts Pink Floyd as musical influences. The group’s appeal doesn’t stray from more “modern” bands however, as fans of Nirvana and Radiohead will easily fall into every one of the band’s 40-some-odd groove laden original tunes. While regular performers at Reading’s Brass Lantern and Northeast Taproom, Flux performs at various venues around Lancaster, Philadelphia, Allentown and New York City. “We’re not trying to make a record that sounds like anything else,” says Pete Specht. “We have deep roots in the jam scene but feel that gets limiting when it comes to writing really meaningful tunes … by sticking to our vision we believe we will create a body of work that will remain forever young through time and prove prophetic in many aspects.” Kevin Newkirk
FLUX CAPACITOR
"THEY KNOW WE KNOW"
This awesome 12 song CD captures the true essence of modern psychedelic music.
Rarely does a band capture not only a sound but a movement in their music. These guys do for sure.
This recording captures the twists and turns of the thoughts and compassion of lead singer Pete Specht.
From Aliens to being in love this sophisticated Jam Band really shines. This release combined with a great live show should make 2009 a very good year for Flux Capacitor!!!
