74: The Spinto Band - Nick and Thomas on 'Oh Mandy', four albums, breaking out in the UK, and love for The Beatles

This week on The Boys in the Band Podcast we catch up with Nick Krill and Thomas Hughes from The Spinto Band. These guys were recording music before they'd even played a gig but soon took off, opening for the Arctic Monkeys on their first US tour, and then blowing up in the UK when single 'Oh Mandy' took off over here. Nick and Thomas break down how that standout tune came together, share some good stories from life on the road in the UK, and we run through how their sound developed over their four albums. One thing that hasn't changed though is Nick's love of The Beatles and we talk about his 'Beatles in real time' idea which we think you should all get involved with! The Spinto Band fan?
