Spectrals is the creation of one young lad "L" from the north of England, a place where to not have a baby and a criminal record by the age of 18 is seen as unusual. After being in various bands playing punk rock in basements, L decided to start something combining his love of doo wop, girl groups and adding a bit of rat pack flair with a punk rock vibe to create Spectrals.

On September 11, 2013, Louis Jones decided to quit doing music as Spectrals.
