This page is for things that I like that I think you should know about. It should be updated weekly, but you'll have to forgive me if I fal behind. My Senior year of school's bound to catch up with me at some point during the year!
This Week: The Spill Canvas
The Spill Canvas is the band of 19 year old Nick Thomas, a native of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. His songs stem from emotion and transform late youth angst into brutally honest anthems... with acoustic guitar in hand, he is speaking for a new generation through his art. Musical influences include Saves the Day, Further Seems Forever, John Mayer, Ben Lee, Billymusic, Mogwai, Copeland, Maroon 5 and Dashboard Confessional. A skilled guitar player, Nick also plays piano and bass. In addition, he wrote and produced his album, Sunsets and Car Crashes, out now on 111 Records.
In 2004, Nick added a full band to the Spill Canvas live show. Members include Joe Beck, Scott McGuire, and Dan Ludeman. With musical influences from Atmosphere to Killswitch Engage, the new line-up is ripping apart the stereotype. Watch out world, TSC is taking over.

[Plus, they're from Sioux Falls! Just under 2 hours from where I live.]
I recommend these songs: "All Hail the Heartbreaker", "Sunsets and Car Crashes", "The Tide", "This is For Keeps", and "Staplegunned"
