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 ↴
And for future conversations
To keep pigeon toes to a minimum
So I tilted the head to the locks say for a twist of the wrist later on
Later On,
Oh-ho-ho Later On
(???)
Oh-ho-ho Later On
I'm still gonna get you back
Oh-ho-ho Later On
I stopped my coming back
Later On,
Oh-ho-ho Later On
I'm wide-eyed at locales
And then commiting them to memory
Seeing flemish bonds on brick's laid
To keep exteriors from crumbling
So a tip of the hat to the masons
Say for tip of the tounge conversations
Later On,
Oh-ho-ho Later On
Oh-ho-ho Later On
Finally gets uses for it
Oh-ho-ho Later On
(???)
Oh-ho-ho Later On
Oh this will make me wrong
Later On,
Oh-ho-ho Later On
Later on as it grows late and it's almost the next day
And I'm walking through the pouring rain
I will just swing around a lampost and then give away
My raincoat to a passerby who needs it more than I
And I anxiously await your reply
Later On
Oh-ho-ho Later On
Oh-ho-ho Later On
(???)
Oh-ho-ho Later On
I'm still gonna hear you back
Oh-ho-ho Later On
I stopped my coming back
Later On,
Oh-ho-ho Later On
Later On,
Oh-ho-ho Later On
The Spinto Band's song Later On is about wandering through a town, exploring the different locations and committing them to memory. It appears to be a reflective piece about enjoying the journey in life, rather than always focusing on the end result, as the singer mentions wanting to avoid "pigeon toes" and taking in the scenery around them. The lyrics also touch on the idea of later on, or the future, as the singer mentions wanting to keep certain things or have "future conversations." The repetition of "Oh-ho-ho Later On" reinforces this idea.
The lyrics also briefly touch on the idea of giving back, as the singer mentions giving their raincoat away to someone who needs it more than they do. This selflessness can be seen as something to aspire to, and possibly ties into the idea of enjoying the moment and living for the journey.

I'm wandering a town just for the sake of exploration
I'm aimlessly strolling around town just for fun
And for future conversations
And maybe to have something interesting to talk about later
To keep pigeon toes to a minimum
To avoid tripping over cracks in the sidewalk
So I tilted the head to the locks say for a twist of the wrist later on
So I looked at the locks on the doors in case I need to pick them later
I'm still gonna get you back
I still plan on getting revenge on you
I stopped my coming back
I changed my mind about going back to you
I'm wide-eyed at locales
I'm amazed by the places I'm seeing
And then commiting them to memory
And trying to remember them later
Seeing flemish bonds on brick's laid
Noticing the way the bricks are arranged in a particular pattern
To keep exteriors from crumbling
To keep the outside of buildings from falling apart
So a tip of the hat to the masons
I give the builders a nod of approval
Say for tip of the tounge conversations
So I have something to talk about later on my tip of the tongue
Finally gets uses for it
Finally finding a purpose for something
Oh this will make me wrong
Oh, this will cause me problems or regrets
Later on as it grows late and it's almost the next day
As time passes and it gets closer to morning
And I'm walking through the pouring rain
And I'm walking in heavy rain
I will just swing around a lampost and then give away
I'll swing around a lamppost and then give my raincoat to someone who needs it more than I do
My raincoat to a passerby who needs it more than I
Give my raincoat to someone who needs it more than I do
And I anxiously await your reply
And I'm nervous about waiting for your response
I'm still gonna hear you back
I still plan on hearing from you
Later On
In the future
