''(the Spinshots} play beat- and soulrelated music with swinging rhythms and have asparkling hornsection' - Parool (Duch newspaper) at june 13th 2007''Sharp-dressed music combo The Spinshots unleash their first CD of 'wild and exciting rhythm and tunes' (...) The Spinshots bring to the stage a warped mix of soul, exotica, blaxploitation, big band music and Bollywood sounds. Although heavily influenced by classy orchestra leaders and soundtrack composers like Les Baxter, Ennio Morricone and John Barry, The Spinshots' sound is equally affected by the energy of 70's punk rock.' - Amsterdam Weekly at june 25th 2006
