Spinlords Photography by Jane Wilkinson Photography

Influences: Growing up in Devon, Prog Rock, a teenage diet of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Megadeth and Iron Maiden,The Countryside, Jazz from all eras, Far too many british comedies, the 70's, the great romantic & 20th century composers, tea, various bizarre and obscure metal bands, Kate Bush and a little splash of folk.
Sounds Like: "The music you will hear on your journey to Spintania is of a prog/fusion sort, wonderfully executed and recorded. A blend of outright heavy rock and melodic, what some might call "symphonic", passages. Full of bouncy licks, grooves and psychedelic schizouts; it provides everything you could ask for.

I can hear echoes of King Crimson filtered through all manner of other influences no doubt; Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Van der Graaf Generator, System of a Down, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Funkadelic, Frank Zappa, Gong, The Residents etc... All great stuff. But, of course, none of that means anything because the music of the Spinlords sounds like none of the above - they are the nearest points of reference; elements of my world-view which I use to explain my experiences.

It is simply really great stuff, and I am sure that you will agree"
