Gary Kasparov defeated Deep Blue in one of the most epic chess matches of all time. Scientists discovered the possible evidence of life on Mars. President Clinton appointed the first female US Secretary of State. And in one cluttered basement in Wilmington, Delaware, the Spinto Band began to materialize. Spinto, huh?
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
You don't have the heart to go on and off it
Till it's cylinder stops
Off to a start but the rumors
Someone who would have totally dropped you
Lose one half of your breath but
The other one's left me
I'm seeing the worst in each person
All my arguments coming off
Sounding rehearsed ever since the first time
You presented me with it's flaws
I'm rounding up to a piece of middle to me
You and Claire will compare wardrobes
Someone's giving up as a friend
And though I'm not to pretend it's
Gonna lower the bet here
I would just as well be alone
Because I would love to own
And to evidence yet there's
Something telling me to dispose of
Everything that I know
And now it's hard to say no even then
Because someone's moving up as a friend
And now I fully intend to
Be somebody to get near
We're making a mess of these watches we
Were given free at the store
And we obsess with what the best arrangement
We could glue to the door
We five plays over the speakers Beverly
Weakens the heart stops the starting when
Someone's giving up as a friend
And though I'm not to pretend it's
Gonna lower the bet here
I would just as well be alone
Because I would love to own
And to evidence yet there's
Something telling me to dispose of
Everything that I know
And now it's hard to say no even then
Because someone's moving up as a friend
And now I fully intend to
Be somebody to get near
Till it's cylinder stops
Off to a start but the rumors
Someone who would have totally dropped you
Lose one half of your breath but
The other one's left me
I'm seeing the worst in each person
All my arguments coming off
Sounding rehearsed ever since the first time
I'm rounding up to a piece of middle to me
You and Claire will compare wardrobes
Someone's giving up as a friend
And though I'm not to pretend it's
Gonna lower the bet here
I would just as well be alone
Because I would love to own
And to evidence yet there's
Something telling me to dispose of
Everything that I know
And now it's hard to say no even then
Because someone's moving up as a friend
And now I fully intend to
Be somebody to get near
We're making a mess of these watches we
Were given free at the store
And we obsess with what the best arrangement
We could glue to the door
We five plays over the speakers Beverly
Weakens the heart stops the starting when
Someone's giving up as a friend
And though I'm not to pretend it's
Gonna lower the bet here
I would just as well be alone
Because I would love to own
And to evidence yet there's
Something telling me to dispose of
Everything that I know
And now it's hard to say no even then
Because someone's moving up as a friend
And now I fully intend to
Be somebody to get near
