Spin Alley's hard hitting hybrid of punk and hip-hop is elevating the modern rock game. Formed in Austin, Texas in 2006, the band has quickly climbed to fame in their hometown and taken their powerful stage show on tour.
Filling up clubs across Texas and Louisiana, Spin Alley's stadium sized performances have gained them a reputation as one of the region's hottest bands. Spin Alley's PunkHop fusion is spreading like wildfire across the scene, as crowds flock to a sound unparalled in rock music today.
Spin Alley is fronted by MC Earn and Ratarue, whose dueling lead vocals ignite screamo and rap audiences alike. D Lo fans the flames on guitar with soaring solos and tight hooks. The high-powered rhythms provided by bassist E Flo and drummer Clean Tone anchor the band's explosive energy.
Spin Alley's high power PunkHop draws fans across the genre aisle, generating buzz from a wide audience. Spin Alley's debut EP Endless Threat was voted one of 2007's most anticipated releases next to Spoon's GaGaGaGaGa and Ghostland Observatory's Robotique Majestique. Spin Alley's full length debut Victims hits shelves in January 2009 amid building critical buzz. Touring in support of Victims in Summer and Fall 2009, the Spin Alley Revolution will soon engulf stages nationwide.

“Spin Alley is one of the most promising bands to come along in a while. With sounds that remind you of Faith No More, they blend rap and rock together in near perfect harmony, I support this band and always will.”

"Spin Alley hail from Austin and are the embodiment of everything that keeps Austin weird. Every influence in music can be found within the songs on Victims. Spin Alley is a like throwing your punk, funk, metal, and reggae CD collections against a brick wall and the fragments meld into one band."
