Back In Spades was a band that was short-lived, but made a big impact around town. They were lead by a wicked 2 guitar attack from Stephen Palmer and Jackson Smith. The song that I am posting is called Detroit Slums (Here We Come), off the band’s 1 and only record, “Time Is Now”. I would love to see this band one day play again.
