Ben And The Angel Fish: I, Ben, am a music student in the United Kingdom. Backed by my Angel Fish, I aim to take the world by storm. Whilst being a solo pianist at heart, I also once embarked on an adventurous quest to learn the guitar and trumpet. Whilst enduring this seemingly expansive task, I met my Angel Fish. They have never left my side, riding the waves of success. Cruising the hard-core recesses of rural England, I embellished my knowledge of all musical varieties, swimming into new options. I hope my fans swell with pride at the deep content of my lyrics. May they surf evermore, on the power of our songs. Stingray, Shark, Tuna…..Plankton.

Kolton H.: Electronic musician from Kansas City, MO. My obsession with music started when I began taking drum lessons as a kid and has grown ever since. Although I dabble in all genres I tend to prefer darker, aggressive music with elements of industrial, drum & bass, and ambient with cyberpunk themes. As a break from that I also like writing chiptunes, or glitchy, trip-hop inspired music.

Ominous Ride: Starting way back in 1974, Ominous Ride has produced 26 records and another 122 singles, none of which have been released due to overseas threats. We have gone through numerous line up changes throughout the years, but it seems the gods of human decency have had enough: Bassist, Mervin Spleen fell to a still-unidentified intestinal disease, and lead Guitarist, Vernon "Tree Frog" McJohnson, and Drummer, Ben Cackhammer were devoured by alpacas while on safari. It's only me now, carrying on the OR name, praying that the voices in my head will help me write a few more songs.

Atom & EV: Dallas, TX based semi-acoustic "roots rock" duet, Atom & EV’s music is like a soundtrack for a men’s pulp fiction magazine circa 1965. EV’s emotive torch vocals and deep bass guitar paired with Atom’s low country voice and spritely old rock guitar style evokes smoky bars, exotic jezebels, hep cats, and love gone right and wrong.

Megalodon: The "Big mighty" band is an extinct species of shark rock that lived long ago, during the Cenozoic Era.
Megalodon is regarded as one of the largest and most powerful predator bands in vertebrate rock history, and likely had a profound impact on the structure of marine rock. Primative recordings suggest that this giant shark rock band reached a maximum awesomeness. The Megalodon showing in Spin Tunes 9 was that of a bluntnose minnow. Sharks always move forward, especially big and mighty sharks. Looking forward to the hunt.

Emperor Gum: Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; whatcha gonna do
when Spintunes comes to town OH YEAH BROTHER!

One time he and his comedian friend put on a show on an empty car in a moving train. It was the most unstable variety show ever, but people laughed and sang along anyway. His current project is Song Trek, in which he writes a new song inspired by a different random episode of Star Trek (all series), weekly, for Youtube.

He is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist (recorders, flute, ukulele, melodica, piano, bass, computer, etc) who is more familiar with 300-year old music than with the more “modern” stuff. Since discovering Jonathon Coulton, he has been updating and diversifying his style, largely through competing in Song Fu.
