Boffo Yux Dudes
BYD is currently a triumpvarant from the Chicago, Boston and LA metro areas, using the internet to cast their vile and nefarious musings upon an unsuspecting world since 1986. At least they think so while they nap on their Lay-z-Boys and try to dream of electric sheep.
We're back to astound and amuse you for SpinTunes #22! with our various comrades to attempt to amuse you while being true to our Dr. Demento like, devil may care attitude about current affairs and EZ Cheese on a mock Ritz cracker.
Once again, if anyone posts an email to us at boffoyux at gmail.com, we will send you something interesting audiowise if you use the subject line 'Again? You stiffed us again and again the last time'. Maybe I'll send 3 things if we did stiff you. Or I'm just lulling you into a false sense of security...

Brett Glass
Brett Glass is an inventor, engineer, author, computer hacker, amateur radio operator, composer, and madcap multi-instrumentalist based in Laramie, Wyoming. When he's not climbing roofs and radio towers to provide rural residents with high speed microwave Internet service (he started the first wireless ISP many years ago), he is a frequent performer at bluegrass, science fiction, literary, and comedy music gatherings.
Cairo Braga
Cairo Braga started making music right after their 12th birthday. Their father gave them a new computer and they discovered an intriguing software called Fruity Loops. This happened in 2002 and since then they've been teaching themself on music, production and overall sound/audio processes. With a boost from their years in college while getting a bachelor's degree in Image & Sound at the Federal University of São Carlos, they are now an independent artist who decided to make it for themself, aiming for self-expression through any art form they can reach and execute. They've been doing FAWM since 2014 but 2024 is their 1st attempt at SpinTunes.

Hey, I'm Dan from Medway (around 30 miles away from London) and this is my fourth go on the Spintunes merry-go-round. I've been a regular Fawmer (sailingmagpie) and Nur Ein competitor for years. Previously, I released stuff as The Serviettes and I've recently formed a 60s psych/garage rock band called Strobe Light Fist Fight.

Gorbzilla
Gorbzilla is getting grey, but is still rocking, and not always in a chair. His day job is waving his arms in front of children with noise makers, but he also spends time playing in a band, reading comic books, and watching bad movies. The Gorbzookies are grown, but Gorbzilla hopes his offspring can contribute to some tunes again soon.

Here once again with my little sad/angry songs and using more fuzz on my guitar than is probably technically necessary.

Jeff Walker
Four chords & the sometimes complicated truth. Amateur singer-songwriter type with Country/Americana leanings, a Georgia accent and whiskey marinated vocal cords, but too ancient to claim any kind of clever and original artist name. My third go at a Spintunes contest and aspiring to survive at least a round or two.

Jordan Carroll
Occasional competitor, back to occasionally compete.
Joy Sitler
Joy plays a bunch of instruments and writes, records, and performs with Brain Weasels and My Broken Demo Tape. They also perform with My Own Desert Island.
Lucky Witch & the Righteous Ghost
We have been playing since 2016 and have 3 studio albums out. We do the grungy thing, the twinkly thing, the creepy thing, and the weird thing. Nivs plays guitar and sings, Brookes plays Omnichord and sings, Eric plays bass, and Jay plays drums. We are an acquired taste and a love it or hate it kind of a deal. We're cool with that. Some quotes by other people: "Jefferson Airplane meets the Cramps" and "Kraut rock meets They Might Be Giants".

Menage a Tune
I like to make up songs and I like to sing.. Sometimes I am fortunate and find a partner who can assist me. I have skipped a few Spintunes, but will try to create something to match the challenges this time!
Ominous Ride
We are merely hairless apes fiddling with a series of complex devices, trying to make sounds that extract and celebrate our irrevocable self-loathing.

A funny guy that writes silly songs, from the Midwest USA.

Somehow, don't ask me how, I managed to win spintunes 19. Feel like throwing my hat back in again to see how much of a fluke this actually was. Since ST19 I decided to actually learn piano and have since got my grade 4 in ABRSM. Still can't sight read though, and loath it big time.

The Alleviators
Beka (vox/keys) and Travis (guitars of regular and bass variety) have prepared the following statement:
Two years ago, we wrote and released a song that could be interpreted as pro-AI. We deeply regret this error and the betrayal of our fellow humans against the looming automated menace. We have taken a seat and are listening and (hopefully) learning. Thank you for your understanding during these trying times.

The Dutch Widows
The Dutch Widows is an increasingly baffling attempt to prove something to someone, but what and to who are not clear and are possibly unimportant anyway. Not Dutch and not a widow.

The Pannacotta Army
Hi, I’m Tim and I live in Kent in the UK. I used to sing and play in bands years ago but now I make music on my own mostly and put it out on the internet as a hobby under the name The Pannacotta Army. I have a weakness for nice guitars and I own too many. I mainly write on acoustic guitar and though I try not to bind myself to one genre, I do tend to lean towards melodic pop.
I’ve entered the last two Spintunes. This one comes straight off the back of a hectic FAWM so I hope I’ll still have some fuel left in the tank.

West of Vine
Boston-based 4 piece alt-country band, but for purposes of this contest likely a solo affair. Three Chords and The Truth, where "Truth" is an IPA from Rhinegeist Brewing, conveniently found two blocks.... west of Vine Street in Cincinnati.
