oh man oh man I have just heard three tracks from an AWESOME band! think of a melodic pavement with a classic indie rock styling these guys are called SPINTO BAND- they are american and if they don't dominate the world I will cut my pinkie off! here's the link to the webby- there are three tracks exciting stuff! I suggest the song oh mandy! www.crackerbox.net/audio/spintoband/home.html#homeEnjoy and of course I'd like feedback

i like them. actually been trying to get a review copy for some time. "oh mandy" is a bit too close to comfort to Grandaddy's Crystal Lake though ... they will get a lot of recognition in indie circles. possibly the new Clap Your Hands Say yeah. But I don't see mainstream success here. That's the thing with these cool american bands. Although they sound great they rarely have a sound which will appeal outside North America. If you go on UK band message boards they rarely discuss non-UK bands.

I mean there is some truth in this- I can see these bands as 'Rough Trade' darlings and they will definitely have their cult following in the UK. Oh well. It's funny though how English people can lap up rubbish such as nickleback and bloodhound gamg and think that is a representative of US music, when you've got great groups such as Spinto band, Wolf Parade etc etc

Read about them on NME a few weeks back .... not bad but certainly not world-dominating material. I think your pinkie is in trouble bobster ;D

Bob: You must NEVER EVER include your pecker in any wager!! Some things are just too important Spinto Band are great!!!!!! Seriously. I like all 3 tracks a lot..... They have something special.... and I love the Pavement influence Unfortunately, I've seen many great bands never make it... so no pecker-baiting for me.

'So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up When you don't give a fuck'
