Spear were formed by frontman Kirk Brandon from the ashes of his previous band Theatre Of Hate. The band soon signed to CBS Records and released the seminal album "The Grapes Of Wrath" in 1983.

Brandon gained a reputation as a sharp social and political commentator, and the band split critical opinion between devotion and hate. A loyal fanbase was transferred from the Theatre Of Hate days. The band split in the early 1990's following six albums and a major tour with U2, but have recently reformed and are now touring the world and recording again.

Amongst the tracks featured are the band's first single "The Flying Scotsman" and UK chart hit "The Wheel". Bonus footage features a fascinating, recently filmed interview with Kirk Brandon, discussing his entire career, and a photo gallery featuring a collection of images of the band from their early days.
