'DC Supergroup': in conversation with Jim Spellman (Foxhall Stacks & so many c.)
foxhall stacks are a new-ish band from WDC. they play guitar-based pop with a punk edge, big guitars, and just all the hooks (seriously, this band makes some catchy fucking music). foxhall stacks comprise jim spellman (interviewed below), bill barbot (interview coming shortly), brian baker, and pete moffett (interviews coming...?). with a deadline fast approaching, i'm not going to bother listing members' previous bands, but there are a fuck-ton. their new album, 'the coming collapse' is available from all fine outlets (probably some of the not-so-fine ones too) beginning today. i caught up with jim spellman (he’s the gent on the far left in that photo below) just shy of a month ago. he was on vacation, and i had just driven a buddy's car through my neighbor's fence. regardless, we had an illuminating talk about making music after an extended break, the joys of making music with lifelong friends, and the challenges (and joys!) of making music in DC.
