Featured Artist: The Spill Canvas – New Album “Formalities” available now
After the release of their Abnormalities and Realities EPs earlier this year, The Spill Canvas is about to treat their fans to some new music on a new full-length album Formalities, out today July 27th. A digital-only release, Formalities will feature favorite tracks from both EPs, a few special acoustic versions and, of course, new material. Formalities, produced by Mike Green, follows up Abnormalities & Realities, which were released as a three-part body of work earlier this year.
The full album can be purchased for a special low price of 7.99 via iTunes, with tracks available a la carte for fans who may already own the EPs. Additionally, a bundle with a digital download and t-shirt is available exclusively on The Spill Canvas website for only $15.99.
Nick Thomas, the singer, guitarist, and mastermind behind The Spill Canvas, recorded his first songs at age 15 while growing up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and honed his largely acoustic-based style playing solo shows in and around his hometown. Calling himself The Spill Canvas, Thomas released the raw and emotive Sunsets and Car Crashes, which earned him eager fans around the country. After officially transitioning from solo act to full-fledged rock band, The Spill Canvas recorded their dynamic debut full-length, One Fell Swoop, with producer Ed Rose (The Get-Up Kids), releasing it on One Eleven in May of 2005 to great acclaim, eventually selling more than 50,000 copies.
In 2006, The Spill Canvas signed to Sire Records, which released their major-label debut full-length No Really, I’m Fine in October 2007. Produced by Neal Avron (Fall Out Boy, Wallflowers, Yellowcard), the album spawned the mainstream breakthrough radio hit “All Over You” and climbed to No. 2 on Billboard’s Heatseeker’s chart. Throughout the years, the band have toured with Yellowcard, Motion City Soundtrack, Straylight Run, Mae, The Plain White T’s, Augustana, the Hush Sound, and One Republic, and have graced the stages of Austin’s annual music festival SXSW, New Jersey’s Bamboozle Festival and the Vans Warped Tour — earning them a growing loyal fanbase.
The Spill boys are on tour with the Goo Goo Dolls and Switchfoot until mid-August. For a full listing of upcoming stops and some additional one-off shows visit TheSpillCanvas.com, and stay tuned to Facebook and Twitter for all the latest updates.
