This day in 1984 Spear Of Destiny released their second stunning album One Eyed Jacks 🖤💀🖤 #SpearOfDestiny #KirkBrandon #psychobilly #newwave #80s #flattops #postpunk www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtx2...
I will probably always have a soft spot for Kirk Brandon: even if he doesn't hit every note perfectly, his voice conveys longing and passion. And with Theatre of Hate or Spear of Destiny, he should have become at least as big as U2.

The Veldt live on stage at Albert Hall Manchester, viewed from the crowd, the star bathed in green light: mainly guitarists and a singer in a hat
Two support acts tonight, #TheVeldt who were like a grungy Godspeed you! Black Emperor type combo, only even better than that sounds, plus yer actual #KirkBrandon doing an acoustic set with a cellist. Top notch. All together now: “all you young men…”
World Service 4️⃣0️⃣
Released in August 1985

Kirk Brandon was not only the head of The Pack, but is also the frontman of Theatre of Hate and Spear of Destiny. Fortunately, both bands are still active today and Kirk Brandon continues to write such great songs as ‘Omen of the Times’.

Some people want their funeral service to be accompanied by songs of Leonard Cohen or Céline Dion, whereas I’d like my ashes to be scattered to the sound of ‘King of Kings’ by The Pack: this song is undoubtedly an anthem for eternity!
