90s alt-rock icons the Spin Doctors released “The Heart Of The Highway,” the third single from their upcoming LP Face Full of Cake, out April 11. Tackling the transient nature of life as an artist, the song is drenched in psychedelic guitars and zigzagging percussion – all tied together by Chris Barron’s unmistakable vocal delivery.
Next month, the band will play a special album release show at New York’s Brooklyn Bowl on April 12, followed by a two-night residency at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino from April 18-19. This summer, they’ll also hit the road for a tour with Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms.
“One of the ongoing themes of this band is the juxtaposition of living your dream and doing what you love. But paying the price of being away from home and the people that you love to do that. The song is a bit of a poem about how it feels to be far from home.”
– Chris Barron
From the album, the band has shared the nostalgic “Rock ‘N’ Roll Heaven,” which imagines an afterlife where the beer stays cold and the amps go up to 11, and “Still A Gorilla” which showcases a noisier, heavier sound. The upcoming LP marks their first Spin Doctors record with new bassist Jack Daley who joined the band full-time in 2021, rounding out the four-piece including Barron, guitarist Eric Schenkman and drummer Aaron Comess. Recorded at Daley’s Asbury Park, NJ studio, the album features a combination of the easy-going hook-forward songs and freewheeling jam sensibilities they’ve always exhibited with bluesy funk flavor and straightforward rock’n’roll.
“Spin Doctors fans are going to be knocked out by this new record. It’s got that vintage Spin Doctors sound of ear candy and denser material that harkens back to Pocket Full Of Kryptonite but with years of experience under our belts.”
– Chris Barron
