.: introducing: the everything pill :.

Alternapop -- sometimes dark, sometimes bright, always catchy and energetic.

Philadelphia-based power pop/rock band Spinning Lucy is thrilled to announce the release of their debut CD of original material, entitled The Everything Pill. Though the songs are entirely original and stylistically varied across the CD, listeners have compared elements of their work to bands like Rooney, Fountains of Wayne, the Killers, and all the way back to Big Star and Cheap Trick – so fans of everything from modern melodic pop/rock, '90s post punk, to '70s power pop will find much to like on The Everything Pill. This new CD represents Spinning Lucy’s coming out party; and what a party it is.

The light in the darkness; the silver lining; failure and forgiveness. These are the topics explored again and again throughout these songs. As primary lyricist and vocalist of the group, Will Roberts’ lyrics tackle topics from love to loss and back again. From the brutally honest (“all the best rides get disassembled, eventually”), through the cautiously optimistic (“If you forgive the monsters in me, then I’ll forgive the ghosts in you”), the songs can take a listener for a ride across an emotional landscape. And if you aren’t inclined to listen to lyrics, the songs themselves are infectious, memorable and catchy; and it’s hard to not roll down the car windows and sing along. Recorded in New Jersey, mixed in DC, and mastered in California – like the CD itself, the songs take the listener on a thrill ride.

Pop with just the right amount of darkness.

All the best rides get disassembled, eventually.
