The Spinto Band are a Wilmington, Delaware, five-piece who make indie rock that sounds like a basement party thrown by very well-read kids. Nick Krill sings and plays guitar, Thomas Hughes sings and plays bass, Joey Hobson plays guitar, Jeffrey Hobson drums and Sam Hughes handles the keyboards, and when they get going it sounds like all five are shouting in the same direction.
They cut their teeth releasing their own music on a homemade label, Spintonic Recordings, before Bar/None Records took them on for Nice and Nicely Done in 2005. It's a jittery, jangly, hook-stuffed record full of herky-jerky rhythms, yelped vocals and melodies that tumble over each other like puppies. "Oh Mandy" is the sweet-natured sing-along, and "Brown Boxes" is the nervier one, a twitchy little rocker that gets in and out before it wears out its welcome. Nobody here is trying to look cool, and that's the whole charm.
