The members of Wilmington, Del.’s Spinto Band have been playing together since the mid-1990s, when they were still in high school. A decade and a half later finds Nick Krill (vocals/guitar), Thomas Hughes (bass/vocals), Jeffrey Hobson (drums), Sam Hughes (keyboards), Joey Hobson (guitar) perfecting pop sounds on the recent full-length, Shy Pursuit, in their newly built recording studio, scoring films, starting a record label and searching for the perfect cup of coffee. They will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with Krill.
Sam Hughes: Trails Of Tarnation is a serialized Western from the minds of Nicholas Gurewitch (Perry Bible Fellowship), Jeff Stanin and Derek Walborn. From chapter to chapter, it follows the trials and tribulations of Jeff and Derek, two gentleman on the run from the law. They make coffee, gaze at the stars and clash with an army of ants while traversing the desert, and it is always hilarious. Shot on beautiful 16mm film on a set in upstate New York, the visuals, along with the well-crafted writing, make it one of my favorite things on the internet. Unfortunately, the series is currently on hiatus due to some scheduling/financial issues, but I hope it all gets cleared up so those boys can get back on the trail.
