Built to Spill are recognized as one of the cornerstones of the indie rock world. Together for over twenty years, this five-man garage rock band from Boise, Idaho has continued to bring new fans to the fold, based on their commitment to their own creative drive, skillful song-crafting and a reputation for consistently delivering fantastic live performances. Built To Spill has been cited as influencing such indie-rock stars as Modest Mouse and Death Cab For Cutie. Listening to Built to Spill it’s also easy to see why Doug Martsch counts J Mascis’ Dinosaur Jr., Neil Young and Pavement as his influences. It’s those gritty, meandering, noisy guitar lines that lead the way and carry the day. 2012 marks the second appearance of Built To Spill at High Sierra.
