"...Spindle may be the coolest Bellingham band you've never heard of..."
"...crafting a sound that seems native to the cold gray mists of the Northwest..."
"...Carousel," a haunting, coal black tune...melodies that let you experience all the fun of going to the carnival on acid and sedatives..." - What's Up! by Ian Chant
"...the majority of the songs...sound like they were written while coming down off painkillers in a snowed-in house..."
"Coming on like a dense, slow fog, the piano and vocals are swirled around in layers...at times recalling Sigur Ros...Tom Waits...Sonic Youth..." - What's Up!

Bio
Spindle is an appropriate name for these melody-weaving rock kittens. With poetic lyrics, passionate vocals, and intricately composed layers, Spindle creates music that pays homage to many influences, while maintaining a sound that is entirely their own. Every song haunts its listeners, conjuring dreamscapes, savoring notes like moments remembered...nostalgic glances toward an unrecoverable past. Somehow they manage to be simultaneously vulnerable and strong. The result is beautiful, lush, and strangely addictive.
Hawaii would be the last place you'd think these young, seductive rock girls were from! Now residing just north of Seattle Spindle has found its niche in the backdrop of the northwest underground. This music will take you back to the pop charts of the nineties alternative revolution; with a sound that is so familiar, yet unlike anything you've ever heard before.
Driven by lead singer and founding member, Gina Wong, Spindle is the colliding line between your classic grunge gods and fine wine. Amber Blahnik gives the heartbeat to each song, as Tammy Lee holds down the low end, merging her classical knowledge and savvy skill, all parts tightly entwining Spindle's sound.
