Reckling - Spitter

  

  Reckling (https://www.facebook.com/recklingmusic) are from Los Angeles and have just released their latest ep, Human Nature. They feature a line up of vocalist Kelsey Reckling who's ably backed by Max Kuehn (Fidlar), Erik Jimenez (Together Pangea) and Joey Mullen (Paramore). 

  The ep boasts 4 tracks of punked up alt rock including a lively version of the Bad Brains classic How Low Can A Punk Get. They released a proper video last month for one of those songs, In My Hair, and you can find that here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qw4w8oMHG8

  It's available as a limited edition 7" (100 copies) and digital download :  https://reckling.bandcamp.com/album/human-nature
