Artist description
Spylane creates a grander musical experience,
which quickly attracts fans upon immediate exposure.
Spyplane's sound travels the airspace between
epic, crowd-shaking, rock anthems to more
intimate, country-fried, campfire sing-a-long.
As this band continues, more musical terrain
will be exposed and spyplane will deliver it to
our ears.

Artist History
To date, spyplane is not under contract or obligation to any existing label or record company. The band is comprised of former Boise, ID residents Todd Sloan and Joshua Gilmore, Kevin Past of Granite Falls, WA, and New York Native, Adrian Esguerra.
Prior to founding spyplane, Todd Sloan played with band mates Gilmore and Past under the moniker International. That incarnation of the band self-released 3 EP Demos: International "Air", "Self Titled," and "Chummer." International transitioned into spyplane with the addition of Esguerra’s talents on guitar. Spyplane self released
a three song demo in July 2oo2. The band is currently in the process of recording a
full-length album. Spyplane creates a grander musical experience, which quickly attracts fans upon immediate exposure. Songwriter Todd Sloan is an ever-maturing craftsman of guitar-fueled indie-pop rock. Todd is inspired by internalized responses to changing environments and relationships, rather than his musical contemporaries and jukebox heroes. The music he creates is deliberate and sincere. The group dynamics are well balanced, with Adrian Esguerra’s highly technical guitar sensibility matching Todd's pop perfectionism. The creative freedom established by Joshua Gilmore and Kevin Past as the rhythm & percussive elements are cleverly integrated into the mix resulting in a fresh band with tight, melodic cohesion. Spyplane's sound travels the airspace between epic, crowd-shaking, rock anthems to more intimate, country-fried, campfire sing-a-long. As this band continues, more musical terrain will be exposed and spyplane will deliver it to our ears.

Press Reviews
Local Access Kmtt 103.7 The Mountain
Spyplane is a relatively new band on the Seattle scene. Their sound mixes in with established Northwest acts, like Built To Spill and 764-HERO, but still sounds fresh and bursting with potential. Spyplane pulls together various influences to create a melodic (yet rockin’) soundscape. Their debut CD "Communications Are Down" is full of complex musical adventures and easily accessible lyrics. Spyplane has the chops to hold their own with the big guys. They are definitely a local band to keep on your radar.
