THE SPINS

PIANO ROCK

About Me

The Spins started in fall of 2002 when David Baron (piano/guitar/vocals), Gabe Davis (bass), and Ben Grant (drums) met as freshmen at Stanford University. Five years later, they recorded a self-titled EP and moved to San Francisco. Their first single, "Tell Her Something," won Best Music Video in San Francisco in Alice 97.3's 2006 3-Minute Film Festival.

In January 2007, The Spins released their second EP, "Passages." Produced by grammy-winning producer/manager of Augustana and This Worlds Fair, "Passages" features 4 piano-based rock ballads in the vein of Snow Patrol and The Fray.

David, Ben, and Gabe are touring throughout 2007 with new guitarist James Deprato. Check out a live show to hear the new material they're developing for their first full-length album, coming in 2008.
