Haling from Wilmington, Delaware, The Spinto Band is a currently unsigned band of six that has been together since 1997. Since then, they’ve recorded and released six full length albums, two E.P.’s, three compilations and numerous singles. Most of the previously mentioned albums were released under Spintonic Productions, but the rest, including their most recent release Nice and Nicely Done (2005, re-release in 2006) was released under the label Radiate, a subsidiary of Virgin Records founded in 2001.
The band formed when Nick Krill, one of the guitarists for the band found lyrics written on Cracker Jack boxes by his relative Roy Spinto, thus giving the band it’s current name. While attending American University, Krill turned his bed into a mini recording studio which held all his equipment while he slept underneath. The remaining members of the band attended colleges on the east coast, including Syracuse University and Bennington College.
While they’ve been busy recording and releasing music for over a decade, the band hasn’t always had it so easy. Their scheduled release of the single ‘Oh Mandy’ was set to come out in 2004, but was overshadowed by another bands E.P., and was never released. However, since 2006 things have turned around for the band, and they toured extensively with the Arctic Monkeys and The Kooks. The bands newest single, “Oh Mandy” along with their current tour to clubs and bars is snagging them attention and fans around the country.
But don’t take my word for it, check out the video for yourself and see why people are going crazy for these guys.
