The story actually begins deep in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, where band member Nick Krill was rummaging through the personal effects of his late grandfather, the guitar player Roy Spinto. For years, Roy had penned lyrics on the inside of Cracker Jack boxes, and in one simple juxtaposition of time and fate, Nick found the lyrics that would inspire the creation of the Spinto Band. And they hit the ground running. The energy was undeniable, and it wasn't long before Jon Eaton, Thomas Hughes, Nick Krill, Joe Hobson, Sam Hughes, Jeff Hobson and Albert Birney (who has since left the band to pursue the visual arts) found themselves with a massive musical proliferation at hand.
Eight years and seven self-released albums later, the Spinto Band is in the prime vein of musical prowess. Utilizing an indie-pop sensibility that brings to mind the Flaming Lips and Pavement, their songs can send you careening into the heights of lysergic bliss or provide the catchiest vibes to shake your tail feather to. Either way, this six-piece outfit has the goods to deliver us all from the doldrums of banality.
Currently teamed up with Nashville producing duo, Robin Eaton and Lij (of Alex the Great recording studios), and preparing a May release through Bar-None Records, the band's sound exudes a finesse that belies their youth (their ages range from 20-25). With rich, textured guitars, and multiple-part vocal harmonies, the Spinto Band's repertoire is a maelstrom of indie perfection. It's quirky, energetic, radiant, and aptly engaging.
The Spinto Band has performed with such acts as the Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players, and Of Montreal. It's an inevitable transgression beyond the words on this page; the Spinto Band excels. Thank you, Roy.

The Spinto Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what Time it is I, Cant wait,
I gotta get back to the house,
My show is on,
So walk and, Don't run,
Its slippery by the pool,
And it hurts,
You know that it only gets worse,
It hit me so hard
Fear for for my agitated(?), discomposed, disturbed, perturbed and alarmed,
I cant believe this works,
It makes you supersonic,
Your science hurts,
So why don't you,
Stop it,
And switch me chairs,
My efforts fall short,
But in the long run, lots could stretch forward,
Then it'd be almost there,
Its just a longer ride,
So up to full speed,
If I can handle it, well we'll see,
Action takes more than just luck,
It needs a well thought plan,
Its getting good good,
Turning and dodging like all you should,
Just as it tosses me out,
I'll have to look to land.
I think your supersonic
Your science hurts,
So why don't you,
Stop it,
And switch me chairs,
Its getting Late Late,
Tell me what time it is I, Cant wait,
I gotta get back to the house,
My show is on,
So walk and don't run,
Its slippery by the pool and it hurts,
You know that it only gets worse,
'cuz the grade is steep,
I think your supersonic
Your science hurts
So why don't you,
Stop it,
And switch me chairs,
I think your supersonic
Your science hurts
So why don't you,
Stop it,
And switch me chairs
