Reunited SPINESHANK Releases First New Song In Five Years

September 18, 2008

After five years of silence, the Grammy-nominated California-based band SPINESHANK has reunited. Original members Jonny Santos (vocals),Tommy Decker (drums),Mike Sarkisyan (guitar) and Rob Garcia (bass) have completed five new songs and plan on writing about 15 more before they enter a studio to begin recording a new album. "All the bad blood and differences that led to the breakup have all been put behind us," says Decker. "It feels right again. We're not being pressured to write a single or look a certain way, were doing it because we want to." Santos adds, "I think splitting when we did might have been a good decision. We were at a high point in our career; we ended it on our own terms."

SPINESHANK has posted a new track, "Born Conform Repent", on the band's MySpace page.

SPINESHANK's third and last album, "Self-Destructive Pattern", was released on September 9, 2003. The album's lead single, "Smothered", was nominated for a Grammy in the category of "Best Metal Performance".

Following his departure from SPINESHANK, Santos formed SILENT CIVILIAN, which released its debut album, "Rebirth of the Temple", in May 2006.

SPINESHANK played its last show to a sold-out London Astoria at the end of the Roadrage tour in 2003.
