Hooky, melody-driven rock is the main ingredient in Spill's self-titled 6-song EP.

Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Spill has been compared to Foo Fighters, Matchbox 20, and Cheap Trick. In their short career, the group has played with The Beatifics, Creed, Victor Delorenzo, The Rosenbergs, and The LackLoves.

Named so because they find "the best songs just spill out of you," Spill started back in 1997.

They created their self-titled 6 song EP with the help of producer Mike Hoffman, whose worked with bands like Verve Pipe and Milwaukee's own Victor DeLorenzo of The Violent Femmes.

While they have received local radio support--playing live on Milwaukee's WLUM, and getting air time on WLZR and WMSE, the band knows the importance of being heard nationally. So they've been busy...

Spill has literally been playing coast to coast. From their midwestern home town of Milwaukee to the west coast for L.A.'s International Pop Overthrow Festival, to the east coast for Baltimore's Baltipop Festival, south to Nashville's 2NMC festival, and up to Canada to play Toronto's North By North East Music Festival, where they picked up a Critic's Pick from NOW Magazine.

Says NOW Magazine's Critic's Pick article: "Irresistable hooks and melodies are the trademarks of this power-pop combo."

"We'd like to conquer the world, of course," adds Jack Rodee, "That's our main goal. And so is writing really good songs, playing them really well, and just having fun on stage. Now we just need a vehicle that can get us heard by more people and I'm not talking about a new van to tour in."

REVIEWS

One of the brightest stars of Milwaukee's "hidden" pop scene
author: Maxx Large
If Milwaukee's Spill does not achieve greatness, there truly is no God. Spill's self-titled debut disc has scarcely left my CD changer since I first picked it up. And it's not just because Jack has fly cheekbones, or Kirk has extremely successful facial hair. It's because I've not heard another band, national or local, who so precisely nails the specific timbre of Midwestern pop in all it's melodic, hook-filled, jangly glory. This disc is regrettably brief at only six songs, but Spill manage to pack more sonic joy into six songs than some bands can muster their whole careers. Listen to it once, and "Out There", "Leave Me Out," and "Goodtime Girl" will install themselves onto a continuous loop in your cerebral cortex. And what's more, you'll be happy about it. If you're looking for an antidote to manufactured, cookie-cutter bubblegum, or angst-laden, joyless nu-rock, then Spill's self-titled disc IS the blessed serum bath to the brain that will knock the cobwebs from your seratonin glands. They're even good live, kids. I mean...C'MON. Buy this disc. That is not a request. If you don't positively ADORE it, then E-mail Spill, and give them your address. They'll pass it on to me, and I'll personally refund your money, including shipping costs. I'm so sure that this band will show you whole new levels of musical contentment, I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. You should be, too. Stop reading this, and click the "Buy" button, already. GO.

What the world needs now is a good Spill...
author: Pretty Princess Gwendolyn
This strictly Hip/Hop and R & B buff is has added rock to her repertoire thanks to Spill. This self entitled CD is a righteous remedy for love's nasty hangover. Finally, lyrics that make sense (read: aren't CORNY) and confirms that fantasy is what we want, but REALITY is what we need. A wise man twice said: '...and Reality is what you're gonna get!' No doubt.
