Artist History
Spiller formed in the spring of ’97. They took their name from the back of a license plate. They rock. They like to play "007-GoldenEye" on Nintendo and drink beer. They rock. Marcus likes Star Wars, Brett is good at tennis, John likes to buy guitars he can't afford and Martin just got a cool new job. They rock. That's the history of Spiller. |
