The Spill Canvas started as a side project for lead singer, Nick Thomas, who at the time, was guitarist and backup vocalist for metalcore outfit Nodes Of Ranvier. As time passed, Thomas resigned from Nodes and went full-time with The Spill Canvas. While growing up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Thomas recorded his first songs at age 15, funded by his father who strongly encouraged his son’s evident musical talent. Although Thomas admits that results of those studio sessions were “atrocious,” the fledgling singer-songwriter honed his largely acoustic-based style playing solo shows in and around his hometown.
After performing with a few local bands, Thomas returned to his solo music with conviction, dubbing it The Spill Canvas.
After sending demo after demo to labels around the county, the music caught the attention One Eleven Records owner Brad Fischetti. The result of that record deal was the raw and emotive Sunsets and Car Crashes, released on April 20, 2004, which began to amass Thomas eager fans around the country. Thomas was then joined by members Joe Beck, Ross Wheeler, and Brandon Aegerter shortly after the release of Sunsets and Car Crashes. Wheeler and Aegerter left the group and were replaced by Scott McGuire and Dan Ludeman. The four members collectively wrote what would be The Spill Canvas’ second album, One Fell Swoop. The album was released on August 9, 2005.
After officially transitioning from solo act to full-fledged rock band, The Spill Canvas recorded their dynamic debut full-length, One Fell Swoop, with producer Ed Rose (The Get-Up Kids), releasing it on One Eleven in May of 2005 to great acclaim, eventually selling over 50,000 copies.

Ouch, not a lot of love for the new stuff in these comments. I think their new stuff is amazing, different from their old style of course but still worthy. I would love to see them make more music and continue growing as a band no matter where their experimentation takes them. Back them on Kickstarter if you want to hear new music! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/288236535/the-spill-canvas-20

their old stuff just didn't get popular enough to be mainstream, even though its better. But honestly anything can be 'mainstream' weather is 'good' or 'bad'.

Their first 2 albums were the best and some of album 3 but other than that i cant stand their new stuff. they went away from their roots. the said in an interview that they wanted to explore by doing different kinds of music and i think they should stop exploring. I also find it strange that they are becoming more mainstream from their bad music? anyone agree? its all just an opinion. No disrespect to the band i just miss their old style.

this band has 2 good songs ("reckless abandonment" and "the truth"), but those 2 songs are probably better than 99.9% of all recorded music.

Not a wonderful band, but The Tide is beautiful. Most of their songs are terribly boring.
