Sunspot's most recent CD, Singularity, was named Madison's Rock Album of the Year by the Madison Area Music Association. Two of the tracks would go on to win awards as well, "No Place Like Home" as Rock Song of the Year, and "Sweet Relief" took home Video of the Year.
After joining forces in 1996 as students at the University of Wisconsin, they’ve gone on to record and release five albums, a DVD, and over a hundred biweekly video podcasts (Sunspot Road Mania), and have performed hundreds of shows all over the country, sharing the stage with bands like Death Cab for Cutie, The Flaming Lips, Sponge, SevenMaryThree, Hot Hot Heat, and Sick Puppies. Punk rock pioneer Milo Aukerman, from the legendary Descendents, has even joined them onstage for a performance on live television.
Some of their biggest successes come from their most ridiculous songs. Their geeky tune, “Scott Bakula”, ended up being used by the man himself as the theme song for his 50th birthday party. Also, their album “Loser of the Year” was named Rock Album of the Year at the Madison Area Music Awards and the next year, the band was awarded the state’s biggest music nod as Artist of the Year by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry.
In December 2010, Sunspot released their first live DVD, Major Arcana, a 90-minute concert film accompanied by audio commentary, special features, and more.
In early 2011, Sunspot licensed their song "Go, Pack!" to FOX Sports for use during the NFC Playoffs and Super Bowl, events seen by tens of millions of people around the world. The band is currently touring and working on new material for a Spring 2011 release.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i think im drinking, just to get the name
she looks at me funny, like jesus up in the clouds
this is no fortress fall, but feeling here is lost
so get me to a nother review bitch
i drank myself to sleep a thousand times
broke my foot runnin after you
i might even be my own worst enemy
standing in the corner of my shame
i might even be my own worst enemy
cuzz i really thought u could keep me sane
she looks at me funny and says
" i think of u like my therapist"
i laughed she didnt

The singer of the song seems to be trapped in a cycle of unhealthy coping mechanisms, using smoking and drinking as a temporary relief. The line "i think im drinking, just to get the name" suggests that the person may be using alcohol as a way to fit in or gain some sort of recognition. The mention of Jesus in the line "she looks at me funny, like Jesus up in the clouds" could be interpreted as feeling judged or scrutinized by others for their actions.
The lyrics also touch upon a sense of lost direction and self-awareness, as seen in the line "this is no fortress fall, but feeling here is lost." It implies that the singer may not be experiencing a catastrophic failure but is still grappling with a deep sense of emptiness. The repeated phrase "I might even be my own worst enemy" exemplifies self-doubt and suggests that the singer recognizes their own contribution to their struggles. Despite their efforts to move on, the person acknowledges their inability to let go of someone who has left an indelible mark on their mind.
