Built to Spill started singing at the college dive bar Pill. The group used to sell their tapes out of their truck at school. Built to Spill’s members met in high school. The bassist used to fall asleep with a CDplaying as a kid.

Built to Spill’s first album failed to sell, but the second album saved them from obscurity. The band is on tour constantly, performing before sold out clubs nightly.

The group may have just finished their new album, but they are plotting their next move already. The new release from Built to Spill has taken the band in a incredibly different direction, using more instruments than ever before.

Built to Spill respects the fact that their fans love their older albums, so they go to great effort to incorporate the past hits with the most current ones. The band has an obsession with Hijacker in Seattle and are sure to play a show every year.
