JoAnn Abbott and M.A.T.
Bandcamp
JoAnn likes nothing more than to meet a challenge as exactly as she can while coloring it with her own style, whether it be a musical challenge, a costuming one for the International Costumers Guild, a limerick or haiku. M.A.T. stands for “ménage/manage a tune”, since that is what she always tries to do. The name started off as a poor pun on ménage a trois; now it stands for the various talented people who have helped her with accompaniment to her songs over the years.
JoAnn has been taking harp lessons for the past 4 years, and can now occasionally play with both hands at once! She almost has "Go Tell Aunt Rhodie" down, too. She works as a special fx artist in the local DC-MD-VA film, tv and webseries industry as well as appearing occasionally on VEEP and House of Cards.
I'm back.
Gorbzilla has been participating in these types of challenges for a long time, when his busy life allows. Once thought to be something he did for fun, he now finds being creative the only thing keeping him from a city destroying rampage.Melissa Phillips

SF Bay Area based singer-songwriter. 
Inflatable Vegetables is an internet-only band from Hawaii that struggles to be a real band. Gregg writes the lyrics. He's a mentor at Coursera/ Cal Arts Sharpened Visions poetry workshop. Many people in Hawaii work multiple jobs. Getting people together for something that doesn't immediately earn money is worse than herding cats.

DON YOUR WIZARD ROBES.And prepare for a whole new listening experience designed from the ground up for...something. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might even end up doing regrettable things later while you're drunk at the bar because all your bros were saying it was a dude and it didn't matter because you were just drunk enough to incoherently argue that "nah that's a he's a she," but it doesn't really matter because you don't remember and that means it didn't happen or whatever.
Lucky Witch & the Righteous Ghost
Bandcamp - Facebook - Soundcloud - Youtube - Instagram - @lucky_witch_rg
We are a concentrated ball of pure awesome. We have described our sound as “Soundgarden meets The Nightmare Before Christmas”. Spooky, catchy, different, dark and weird. Female and male vocals taking turns accompanied by Omnichord’s celestial twinkles over a foundation of the intricate rhythms of an acoustic guitar. We are the ghost you glimpse out of the corner of your eye when you’re casting spells in the middle of the night.Website - @BoffoYuxDudes - YouTube
Old guys who do know better. The Dudes started in 1987, reformed in 2009, and got time off for good behavior. Now they attempt to do music. Allan Morgan, Tom Giarrosso and Scott Mercer head this version of BYD with rabid optimism that they'll be remembered for more than just all those replays on Dr. Demento.Record holder of most ST shadow songs submitted. We live 3000 miles apart, so cut us some slack. Or cut us some HardTack. Be careful - you can chip a tooth on that stuff!

Alex is a self-described Gender Punk who has cultivated a low-fi sound and DIY attitude to her music, with songs covering topics such as the gender binary, the unhelpful limitations of Modern Masculinity and how it feels to have an anxiety attack. Alex's current plans are to form a band and see if this music performance stuff is all it's cracked up to be and explode gender in the processJubilation
Jubilation is exactly that, a reckless celebration of things most would rather condemn or deny. Smiles on crooked faces, laughter in the abattoir and candy in the coffin, you need no true introduction, just awaken to the name you heard in those long forgotten fever dreams and dance.W8 What

Governing Dynamics is a guitar driven, one man alt rock/shoegaze/post grunge (depends on mood and requirements) band from Kansas City, MO. Allegedly won Spintunes.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. Primitive recordings suggest that this giant shark rock band reached a maximum awesomeness. The Megalodon showing in Spin Tunes 12 was that of a Magikarp. Sharks always move forward, especially big and mighty sharks. Looking forward to the hunt.Boy on the Wall
