2006 Year End Survey | Thomas Hughes of The Spinto Band

Not to be outdone by his younger brother, we received Thomas Hughes favorites of the year this afternoon.

I don't have much more to add about The Spintos from Sam's post yesterday. However, I will say that I had the chance to talk to Thomas earlier this year after their set in Montreal opening for Arctic Monkeys and he was a damn nice guy. Very kind and humble; particularly for someone with youth, talent, a killer album and a worldwide touring itinerary.

Trust me. If I had all of those things, I'd be completely insufferable.
