Saw these guys in Dallas, they were breathtaking. They opened for Melvins and came back and joined them onstage to play Hung Bunny/Roman Dog Bird. It was beyond incredible.

[@tplambert]

My goodness, I could imagine that being live a tiramisu of doom. Sounds delicious and layered.

[@abyers7087ify]

this band should be as huge as TOOL, or Deftones.. They are so amazing to me, and the whole world should know about them.

[@TheNightdiver]

que bueno verte x acá Fran, fuerte abrazo

[@Pakeleaccident]

@@TheNightdiver Tremendo jaja Esta banda la descubrí gracias a vos ♥

[@nickcavini]

That 3rd track 'The Grower' is a absolute banger. Whole wave of emotions with that song. Kind of a weird sludgey intro that almost builds into a crescendo. That guitar that comes in at 13:06 😮🫠. Then the soft affirmations. I first heard it and was blown away.

[@ddavis_drums]

Best album of 2016. I've listened to this like 50 times now

[@nickcavini]

'The Grower' is a fucking absolute banger. My God, talk about a masterpiece. "NOW GIVE ME A BEE-YOTCH, AND I THINK YOU GOT IT!" Give me your ride right now punk or I will dust your ass!!

[@autokreig1]

Just saw Spotlights last night at the Milestone Club in Charlotte where they opened for If Trees Could Talk. Unbelievable music they put out for a three piece band. So much talent, depth and just plain art. They went straight to the top of my list. Please come back soon, you guys ROCK!!!

[@krazykings1]

Sounds even better live,that bass bouncing off the walls and I'm high as fuck.

[@lavellebutler6697]

Love that this kind of heavy music is coming from my home town again!!

[@AnomalousFilms054]

This is some of the best music I have heard in a long time, bravo to you both.

[@NK2151978]

I was about to leave NYC. This record literally made me want to stay here. That's a big fucking deal. At least to me. Thank you for that.

[@brandonkindt1205]

Enjoyed the set with Mr Bungle. Really liking the album too.

[@sidefish8362]

Discovered them a couple of days ago on Frank Huang. Best new band I've heard in a long time.

[@miahthorpatrick1013]

Everyone should support this band if you are here. I seen them on tour with the Deftones & forgot all about them until I was looking through old concert tickets. Spotlights should've gotten bigger....

[@bigbennybenster]

Saw these guys/girl last night in Toronto, and I loved it. Reminded me of early Smashing Pumpkins mixed with new Deftones, but they also have their own thing going on musically as well.

[@andressierra5461]

Saw them with The Melvins in Houston everybody was hooked including me.

[@noneofyourbusiness1114]

seeing them open for GlassJAw and Quicksand this upcoming Sunday.

[@lesterawilson3]

Last night's show in Syracuse opening for the Melvins brought me here... good stuff!

[@angelob3281]

I just saw them open for them in NYC. Awesome.

[@itsoverrecords]

we love you spotlights!!!!!!!!!! thank-you for the GOLD!!!!!!!!!

[@jeremyjenks]

thank you...very much

[@dougwatson2030]

Saw them at The International Centre (Mississauga / Toronto), Aug. 13, 2016 where they opened for Refused and Deftones. They matched both bands in terms of musicianship - no question. Spotlights - no pretense, honest music making, restrained showmanship, very meaningful. Honestly, they put Refused to shame. Refused - pretentious, ostentatious, they came across as being a parody, actually embarrassing to witness. Deftones - masterful, of course. The perfect bill would've been Spotlights and Deftones. Gotta see them again!

[@ddavis_drums]

Totally agree with you 100%. I hope these guys eventually see the light of day. They were great live with Deftones. Didn't like Refused to be honest, I thought the singer was annoying.

[@manamatron]

Amazing album all the way through!

[@Baba_booey1023]

these guys rock so hard fucking love this!!!

[@yaanno]

late to the party but... this is simply an amazing album

[@miahthorpatrick1013]

Never too late!

[@nickcavini]

Absolute masterpiece.

[@lowbehold]

just saw them today in Connecticut, amazing. somehow reminded me of sonic youth.

[@adaemy]

Thank you Quinteros for this music.

[@TheFleshPrevails]

Sounding great guys!

[@brian9670]

Cant wait to see them with Hum in STL in Feb, it will be magic:...

[@heatherhansen8854]

I love this so much.

[@gsus8990]

reminds me of Kylesa. Brilliant.

[@merwhinery2871]

Saw you last night at the Brady. You were outstanding! Look forward to your return!

[@CharlieWhiskeyGolf]

Saw this band last week. They were excellent!

[@babyluckbabyluck9478]

Good job Brad!

[@Speakofawe]

Excited to see this band live.... there are paths this album takes you on that I didn't expect - and it's nice to get turned where you don't expect when you listen to music... it's what makes it beautiful

[@kevinrasulo1067]

they are LOUD as fuck. Really good though. Never heard of them till I saw Pallbearer in Syracuse and again on Long Island. Listen to them all the time now. I was lucky enough to see them and Pallbearer twice in one week :)

[@luisgoregonzalez7394]

Love it! 💜

[@1jiveturkey1]

Good show in SLC guys.

[@JonFfromRI]

Sounds good. I'll hear you soon...

[@ewignichjesehn]

[@Pedaler845]

Good shizzle. In a perfect world it would be on the FM

[@PotionDranks]

This was published on my Birthday

[@0ly0le]

[@NayroTheAdventurer]

[@0ly0le]

[@NayroTheAdventurer]

Well, greetings from Saint Pete fellow Florida Man and may I compliment your taste in music.

[@0ly0le]

greetings to you too, hope you didnt get it too bad with irma

[@jjnorton5306]

They should have just named their band Badass.

[@ivantkatch6082]

Guys, you make perfect music!! With love from Ukraine.

[@AndrewWood1992]

Saw you guys open for deftones in coney island this past weekend, I love your sound!

[@peterguitarhowitt268]

Thanks for the post. I am glad to have caught your act here in Edmonton July 17,2017 at The Union Hall. Have you thought about brining in a drummer into your group? I hope to see you guys soon.

[@voltagesnipess5475]

i just saw you guys last night in baltimore, i absolutely love your music. it sounds amazing.

[@TheLoneDeranger]

Same! You guys put on an excellent show last night!

[@brian9670]

Cannot wait to hear you guys open for Hum this weekend

[@nathansander2124]

Brian W they ripped it, thought all the bands were good, but the energy these guys had took the cake

[@brian9670]

I have to agree. Castor sounded really good. Hum, while one of my favorite bands ever...well it was not their best show I have ever seen. Spotlights just has a massive sound and they are really super nice people.

[@nathansander2124]

Brian W Ben the guitar player in Castor was using my red Marshall and cab. Thought they sounded good for a 20 year hiatus.

[@InfiniteHelmsman559]

Fucking KILLED the opening for Igorrr in Philly, yo. These guys rock.

[@nathansander2124]

I hear a lot of Shiner/The Life and Times influence as well.

[@nickcavini]

I fucking love all three bands.

[@admydragon]

DUDE just saw them tonight Toronto international centre Deftones great show

[@phillafresh5287]

That was an amazing show last night! Glad these guys played!

[@Alejandromichael84]

UGH, saw them too ! I was up center right stage - UGH to die for !

[@MichaelMai]

Same here! They are amazing!

[@JHH1979]

Damn. I had hoped to catch them but the trip from Toronto to Mississauga took forever and I missed their entire set. Hopefully they'll be back soon for their own show in Toronto proper.

[@jtks34]

I saw you for the first time in Des Moines (opening for Deftones) - very anxious to see you when you return! :-)

[@judibunger6814]

Me, too! Who'd have thought the Des Moines show could beat KC in May? Nice Surprise.

[@StayAtHomePanda]

Wanna see you guys

[@tburrus94]

I love you guys so much man, good luck on your tour.

[@thestarsof2012]

Saw you guys in Sterling Heights and thoroughly enjoyed your set.

[@ddavis_drums]

So did I. Deftones was great too

[@peterkonig2572]

Hurrah! Like #500!

[@indecentproposal9473]

'Sludgegazer' is pretty damn accurate. Really digging this album

[@saramaia3736]

[@dominikraskin]

torche meets pinback kinda.

[@nickcavini]

Jawbox meets The Life and Times meets Ween 'The Pod'.

[@betulaobscura]

I can hear many Isis influences and imports here.

[@Nicci175]

Fuckin' aweseome!!!

[@nitrams823]

...I hope it's ok that the '.8 views' is most likely me in the last week!!!...

[@rubixgamer6598]

Is it me or i hear Deftones minerva a lot ?

[@isaaccarpenter6690]

Damn anyone else hear "Isis" band 🤔..I hear the obvious deftones/HUM

[@billytrax9312]

Clive Meow

[@vulpaiokay6373]

[@ATSF854]

saved.jpg

[@yzwme586]

a lot of deftones influence in their music

[@tburrus94]

I told them that when I seen them play with the deftones and they smiled so hard, chino watched them play there whole set and was digging it the whole time.

[@OrangeishPotato]

Just saw them both last night! Amazing show!

[@LNDS209615]

[@rkerr9754]
