- Spiraling
Spiraling is a
New Jersey -based pop-rock quartet. The band was formed out of a previous incarnation called "You Were Spiraling" by keyboardist/vocalistTom Brislin .Spiraling gained national exposure with its self-produced independent release Transmitter. Critical and popular response to the album was enthusiastic. The
Star-Ledger of Newark hailed, "There isn't a dull moment on the band's self-released, immaculately produced debut album Transmitter." It also attracted the attention of TheNew York Times , among a host of other national publications. It is difficult to pigeonhole the group's dynamic, synth-infused modern rock sound.The band has performed with marquee acts such as
OK Go ,They Might Be Giants ,Violent Femmes , and Rooney at various venues. In 2007, Brislin toured with Deborah Harry during the "True Colors" tour [http://www.keyboardmag.com/article/inside-true-colors/oct-07/31983] , and Spiraling was the whole band for Harry's "Necessary Evil" tour. Spiraling regularly plays at Glen Burtnik's XMAS Xtravaganza [http://www.xmasxtravaganza.org/past.php?year=2005] , performing "Nutrocker" and "Do You Hear What I Hear". At the 2007 Xtravanganza, they also played "Feliz Navidad" with Harry singing [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdJN5Ic8cpM] .Brislin has toured with progressive-rock legends Yes, as well as behind the operatic-rock of
Meat Loaf , holding his own with these music veterans and gaining acceptance from both acts' devoted followings.Members
