The band was formed in London in 2003 by Ford, Moss and Butler. Ford and Moss met at art college in Cheltenham where he was studying Photography and Moss was studying a Fine Art Foundation Course. Butler and Ford also met at the same college at around the same time and briefly played in a band together. Creating The Duke Spirit they set about writing, recording and self-producing a bunch of songs that formed the basis of their first single and "Roll Spirit Roll" E.P.

The Duke Spirit have received acclaim and increasing success despite relatively little advertising based promotion on television and radio.[citation needed] Initially a 'word of mouth' band, their touring schedules have helped them to spread their music across the country and eventually into America and Europe.[citation needed] They have played a number of high-profile support slots for Queens of the Stone Age, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, R.E.M., BRMC, Supergrass, and Eagles Of Death Metal. Since 2008 the band have performed on American TV six times - appearing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Call with Carson Daly, It's On with Alexa Chung, and the Late Show with David Letterman.
