Artist Bio:
“It’s colourful” says drummer Daniel Woodhead. “It jumps out at you, catches you off guard and takes you to other places.” Toronto’s Spiral Beach have been drawing much attention lately to their strange and dynamic energy, and will certainly be catching the ears of many with the release of their album Ball this past October on Sparks Music. Ball’s release comes on the heels of the band’s first cross-Canada tour, a journey that Daniel describes as “mind-expanding”. However, this isn’t the band’s first major outing, as they’ve already toured in the United States with fellow Torontonians the Hidden Cameras last November, and again with Sloan this past spring. These successes on the road haven’t kept the band from finding a place for itself in Toronto’s thriving music community though, where their shows have become notorious for the raw energy and surprising musical ability that seems to draw both young and old crowds.
Radio Strategy:
With the quirky first single “Made Of Stone” off the band’s newest album, we garnered Modern Rock radio airplay across Canada and achieved a peak chart position of #31. We also managed to secure high-profile radio station/live-concert partnerships including an 102.1 The Edge Toronto’s Next Big Thing performance, a Live 88.5 Ottawa “Live Lounge” showcase, and an 102.1 The Edge Friday Night Live feature interview/performance.
Press Quotes:
“With curious new listeners filtering in from the mainstream radio play and massive word of mouth continuing to spread at the grass-roots level, due in no small part to the group’s unique live presentation and irrepressible energy, the stage is set for the band to take their homegrown buzz to the next level.”- Exclaim! - See full article.
“They have the ambition and ability to explode big, and an unselfconscious spark that makes you want to covet the band as your own personal diamond-in-the-rough discovery“- Sarah Liss, Now Magazine
“…at this stage in their careers, it’s difficult to understate anything about Spiral Beach. With Ball, they’ve shown that they have the talent to back up all the promise they showed on their debut, and now it seems that the sky really is the limit for them.” - iheartmusic.net
