Kirk Brandon has now been leading Spear of Destiny for over 40 years. Spear of Destiny were formed in 1983 after the demise of Kirk Brandon’s post punk iconic rockers, Theatre of Hate. (Brandon had also, before TOH, been the main man in every punk rockers favourite band of that era, The Pack). The current line up of Spear is the longest serving to date and features Adrian Portas (New Model Army/Sex Gang Children), Craig Adams (Sisters of Mercy/The Cult/The Mission) and Phil Martini (Jim Jones and the Righteous Mind) on drums. During 2019 the line up was boasted by Saxophonist Clive Osborne. Long time Brandon collaborator Steve Allen-Jones completes the band line up on keyboards.. For Spear of Destiny, 2025 will be the year of ‘Janus”. Janus The Recordings are the choicest cuts from the band’s two biggest selling albums, Outland & The Price You Pay. 24 tracks re-recorded and re-imagined, beautifully packaged and presented on Double Vinyl, Extended Double CD and Download. Janus The Tour will pull a set list from these fantastic new recordings.
