Here are basic factsSpector 45 is a Dallas based greaser punk band that formed in April 2003, by guys NOT interested in being another Blink, Greenday or Offspring knock off, like everyone else at the time seemed to be. Instead, we're heavily influenced by the same stuff that probably inspired those bands. We aspire to capture the pure energy of 50's Rock n Roll and original 70's Punk Rock, and kick it out for today's audience. We have played over 400 shows and are always happy to perform beyond our North Texas roots.
