Upon strolling into a state like Delaware the last thing on ones mind is probably the thought of how cool the local indie pop bands are. However in the case of Wilmington, Delaware that is the only thought that should be residing in your head. Local pop sensations “The Spinto Band” have been creating mesmerizing radio friendly songs since 1996 and have done nothing short of entertain.

I first heard about these guys when my brother’s old band “Asleep in the Sea” did a coast-to-coast tour and they just so happened to play with the Spinto boys. Being the young music jockey I was, I quickly searched around for any Spinto tracks I could get my hands on. Of course it wasn’t to long until I got my hands on a copy of their first LP “Nice and Nicely Done.” Which is jammed full of catchy tunes from movie soundtrack worthy Brown Boxes to a love song fit for a wedding in Oh Mandy. Naturally this album was and is still being spun wildly over and over and is truly an inspiration to any aspiring pop artist or indie rock head out there.

These days though Spinto have moved onto their sophomore release in “Moonwink”, and lets just say it’s not catchy right off the bat. On the other hand this album grows on you, with every listen you like it more and more and more and maybe even a tad bit more. The highlights of the album would have to be Vivian, Don’t, Summer Grof, Needlepoint, and Pumkin’s And Paisley.

Other highlights in Spinto’s career thus far are they played youtube live, some festivals, and have received quite a bit of success in the UK. I would strongly suggest checking them out and seriously grabbing a copy of one of their albums.
