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.

The lyrics of Sunspot's song "Step On It" convey a sense of frustration and resentment towards someone who consistently takes without giving anything in return. The singer is tired of being submissive and accommodating to this person's whims, feeling drained and depleted by their selfish behavior. They express a refusal to continue pleasing them and being manipulated or used.
The song suggests that the subject of the lyrics has a narcissistic and ego-driven personality, causing harm to others without showing any remorse or consideration for their feelings. The singer acknowledges that they have been hurt by this person and calls out their lack of reciprocity, emphasizing that they only take and never give back. The repeated line "you take and do not give" serves as a direct condemnation of this behavior.
The intensity of the emotions is heightened by the repeated desire to "step on" the person's face, which symbolizes a strong desire for retribution or revenge. The singer wants to make them face the consequences of their actions, highlighting the impact they have had on others and calling for justice.
Overall, "Step On It" is an anthem for those who have been hurt or taken advantage of by someone self-centered and uncaring. It expresses a need to break free from the toxic dynamics of this relationship and stand up against injustice.
