The driving creative force behind the Emo Alternative-Rock act The Spill
Canvas, singer+songwriter Nick Thomas was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota
USA, on May 25, 1984.
Thomas released his first CD when he was 15 and played relentlessly in
various incarnations around South Dakota before starting to perform as
The Spill Canvas. A demo sent in by his father caught the attention of
One Eleven Records founder Brad Fischetti, who signed Thomas purely through
the strength of the tape.
The largely acoustic "Sunsets And Car Crashes" was released
in April 2004 and promptly became an underground success, selling over
10,000 copies and earning high praise from kids and critics alike. Constant
touring, including a string of dates with Straylight
Run, perfected his highly emotional live performance and evolved The
Spill Canvas into a full band.
Joined by guitarist Dan Ludeman, bassist Scott McGuire and drummer Joe
Beck, Nick Thomas headed back into the studio to cut "One Fell Swoop",
a second full-length disc which was due out in August 2005; it leapt into
the top 50 of the U.S. Independent Albums chart.
In 2007 the band signed to Sire Records and saw bassist Scott McGuire
leaved; now with Landon Heil on bass, The Spill Canvas are out with its
new album, "No Really, I'm Fine", the set includes the single
"All Over You".
