Spin Doctors’ first album in twelve years, Face Full of Cake, is both a bold leap forward and the sound of a band newly revitalized. Marking their debut on Capitol Records, the album finds the alt‑rock veterans in top form, loaded with hooks and the warm, funky groove that longtime fans love. With new bassist Jack Daley in the mix and a major tour underway, the band’s 35‑year journey feels freshly energized and just getting started.

Born from pandemic‑era writing sessions and heartwarming reunions—at homes, in studios, and even at the Vermont space of Phish’s Mike Gordon—the twelve‑track album captures Spin Doctors in an easy, freewheeling creative zone. Songs like the riff‑heavy “Still a Gorilla,” the wry, reflective “Rock ‘n’ Roll Heaven,” and the soaring “Heart of the Highway” showcase the band’s blend of humor, heart, and road‑tested perspective.

For Spin Doctors, Face Full of Cake is a full‑circle moment that echoes the spirit of their 1991 breakthrough Pocket Full of Kryptonite, radiating the joy and camaraderie of a band that still finds something new every time they plug in and play.
