Formed in 1988 in New York City, in 1990 the Spin Doctors were signed to Epic
Records/Sony Music by A&R executive Frankie LaRocka. The band’s Epic debut EP
Up For Grabs was recorded live at Wetlands in Lower Manhattan and released in
January 1991. In August 1991, the Spin Doctors released their full-length debut
album Pocket Full Of Kryptonite, co-produced by Frank Aversa, Peter Denenberg and
Frankie LaRocka. Relentless touring and a wave of positive press kept the album
alive into the next year when sales began to increase dramatically. …Kryptonite was
certified gold in September 1992 and received an additional boost from the band’s
October appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” Reaching the one million mark in
January 1993, …Kryptonite entered the Billboard Top Ten one month later. By June
1993, the album was triple platinum and had breached the Top Five among Billboard
Pop Albums while spinning off two major hit singles: “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong”
and the No. 1 Rock radio song of 1993, “Two Princes.” which also earned the band a
Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. Ultimately, Pocket
Full Of Kryptonite sold over five million copies in the US and another five million
overseas. “[Their] popularity is based on universal rock & roll virtues,” said Rolling
Stone, which put the band on the cover of its January 7, 1993 issue. “The Doctors
aren’t trying to blaze new trails-they know we’ve been down this way with the
Stones, Curtis Mayfield, and a few of their other touchstones. But the proof-plenty
of it-is in the party.” In June 1994, the Spin Doctors released their second Epic
album, Turn It Upside Down. Once again co-produced by Peter Denenberg and
Frankie LaRocka, the album featured new originals like “Biscuit Head,” “Bags Of
Dirt,” and “You Let Your Heart Go Too Fast.” The band set out on a three-month
headlining tour and played to immense crowds at the Woodstock and Glastonbury
festivals. Their cover of the Creedence Clearwater classic “Have You Ever Seen The
Rain?” was a highlight of the multi-platinum Philadelphia soundtrack. In
November/December 1994, the Spins opened for the Rolling Stones on a series of
eleven North American stadium shows. In March 1995, their album hit the one
million (platinum) mark in the US, moving an additional million copies overseas. The
Spin Doctors’ next Epic album, You’ve Got to Believe In Something, was produced by
Danny Kortchmar and released in May 1996; more touring followed. The band would
release three more albums, 1999’s Here Comes The Bride, 2005’s Nice Talk to Me,
and If the River Was Whiskey which was released in 2013. Thirty years. A thousand
twists. But whatever happens down the road, rest assured that the Spin Doctors
will always be the last men standing, still making music like their lives depend on it,
still riding the bus, still shaking the room. Even now, plans are afoot for a seventh
studio album to be released on Capitol Records in early 2025 and another
swashbuckling world tour, adding to their tally of almost two thousand shows.
