Returning from an international tour with a new album to launch, The Spinto Band found a homecoming celebration waiting for them at Johnny Brenda’s Saturday night. The Wilmington group, who has been together in some form or another since 1995, packed the venue. It was clear that the show was celebrating more than the new album, ... Continue reading ’
XPN welcomes The Spinto Band to Johnny Brenda's tonight. Boasting a new album in Cool Cocoon and a viral-y popular video in "What I Love,' the Delaware natives have had a busy few months leading up to this hometown-area show, perhaps best exhibited by their coverage in The New Yorker and on NPR. As the ...

They come fresh off of an international tour, touting ... Continue reading ’

by Bill Pearis DOWNLOAD : The Spinto Band - Shake it Off (MP3) Wilmington, Delaware's Spinto Band are indie survivors. Having formed int the mid-'90s under the seemed-funny-at-the-time moniker Free Beer, the band switched to the current name at the dawn of the '00s and saw some success with 2005's terrific Nice and Nicely Done . The band have continued to put out charming album after charming album, with little regard to trends [...]
Nearly seven years ago, La Blogotheque filmed their first Take Away Show in a dirty bar in Paris with The Spinto Band . In June of last year, the French music site reunited with the Delaware-based six-piece in Times Square to film a playful rendition of  "Muesli" , from their 2012 record Shy Pursuit . The hopping and grinning atop the wet New York concrete never ceases; read interviews with the band and it's apparent this is the adopted attitude for all times, even despite having gotten to the point where they " have to pick up part-time [...]

At this point in human history, we all know that anything labeled as "cool" isn't really cool anymore. But  indie veterans The Spinto Band don't care much about that and named their third full length album "Cool Cocoon" . The album is indeed a very enjoyable piece of indie pop with no pretensions, proving that the band hasn't lost its touch even after all this time. The case of The Spinto Band is very peculiar since they had a major indie hit some years ago [...]
Let's keep this simple. The new video for The Spinto Band 's "What I Love" is above. And, yes, we DO love it!
Harmonien! Leichtigkeit! Pop-Perlen! Alles umsonst... Die wundervolle 'The Spinto Band' hat jetzt schon ihre 4. LP veröffentlicht. Und ich reibe mir noch immer verwundert die Augen, dass die deutsche Blogmusikwelt diese Band komplett links liegen lässt und sich lieber auf den nächsten NME-Hype stürzt. Denn da es selbst der 100%ige Radiohit "Oh, Mandy" schon 2006 nicht geschafft hat, von jeder verdammten Station hoch- und runtergespielt zu werden, gebe ich hiermit auf und empfehle auch 2013, dieses Album einfach zu ignorieren. Thanks for reading, check out itstoolong for [...]
Great video for "What I Love" off the upcoming album Cool Cocoon . You can download this track for free HERE !

It's absurd and insane and great that My Bloody Valentine, out of the releasing new albums game for a solid 22 years, sneak attacked their fans with a new album that was actually worth the wait. Whatever that means. It's good though! And you can get it free pretty much anywhere, so do that. Though Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Ruban Nielson and crew waited only 2 years to release themselves a new album, the progression in sound and songwriting ability is very noticeable It's groovy, it's funky, it's hazy, and it's a little sad. One of the early year's best, we think. [...]

After reemerging from a prolonged absence last year with Shy Pursuit , I wasn't expecting any new material from The Spinto Band for some time. Less than a year later, the Delaware quintet have released another new LP. Cool Cocoon certainly lives up to its title - theres no radical changes to be found on album number seven. In fact, it's pretty much business as usual. Depending on your prior relationship with the band , this could be either a blessing or a curse. But, as far as I'm concerned, their "if it ain't broke, don't fix it [...]

What I Love fue la canciĂłn elegida por los directores Albert Birney y Nick Krill, un ex y otro actual integrante de la agrupaciĂłn, para presentarla esta semana como primer video promocional del album Cool Cocoon. "El proyecto partiĂł cuando llegamos a una biblioteca local y encontramos un pequeño rincĂłn de libros usados. Compramos uno por 25 centavos que era un instructivo de gimnasia con fotografĂas de maniobras paso a paso. Las comenzamos a escanear sin saber bien que harĂamos con ellas. De ahĂ vino la idea de comparar y contrastar la rutina de esta gimnasta con [...]
