Trivia
The band previously performed under the name Free Beer. The basement studio they made their early recordings in was called Jamonkey Studio.
Their song "Direct to Helmet" was released as a single in the UK in March of 2006 and was also featured on the Rough Trade shop's Counter Culture 05 compilation album.
The band went out on tour in 2006 with the Arctic Monkeys.
Member Thomas Hughes co-wrote, -produced, and -directed Camp Blood: The Musical in 2005.
The band is on tour with Art Brut and We Are Scientists starting September 2006, until the middle of October.
The band appeared on the 5th May episode of Later with Jools Holland.
Band member Nick Krill attended American University in Washington, DC. Krill started the band when he found CrackerJack boxes in his attic, with lyrics written by his relative, Roy Spinto. Hence the name The Spinto Band. Most of the other members went to college on the East Coast, some of them attending Syracuse University, and some of them Bennington College. While at American University, in his sophomore year, Krill turned his bed into a mini-recording studio, and actually slept under the frame, in order to allow it to hold all of his equipment.
A 7" of the song "Oh Mandy" was set to be released by Baltimore avant/noise rock label hit-dat records in 2004. Due to budget issues and the release of Double Dagger's first LP, the 7" never came out.
