Teenage Toronto 4-piece, Spiral Beach release their UK debut single, "Voodoo", through Stimulus Records on Monday 2nd June, 2008.
The single will be available on limited edition seven-inch vinyl and download, and includes bonus tracks, "Day Ok", and "Philosophy Is My Cat".
Self-recorded, mixed and produced in a Toronto basement, "Voodoo" sounds somewhere between the B-52's and CSS. It encompasses Spiral Beach's youthful exuberance, carnival-esque atmosphere and touches on their diverse range of influences.
Led by mesmeric front-girl Maddy Wilde, and powered by song writing brothers, Airick and Daniel Woodhead, the band hail from the thriving indie community in Toronto that have seen bands like Tokyo Police Club and Crystal Castles break out internationally. Bassist Dorian Wolf (a transplant from New York City ) joined the band in 2003.
Spiral Beach have become notorious for their fearless attitude towards performing live, successfully playing DIY shows at unusual venues including vaudeville theatres, art galleries, downtown parks and on the Toronto Islands.
Since releasing their self-titled debut album independently in 2005, the band's following has developed into a flourishing self-contained community that brings energy and enthusiasm to their kaleidoscopic stage shows which often feature video projections, siren lights and smoke machines. Now fresh from their SXSW performances, Spiral Beach are set to play their first UK dates:
