My favorite Northwest bands -- 6. Built To Spill


With ever-rotating band members, Doug Martsch has remained the creative force behind Built To Spill.

One of the only bands I can think of to ever become successful from Boise, Idaho, Built To Spill bridge the gap from the early 90's indie band breakout to the late 90's/00's insurgence of bands like Death Cab, Modest Mouse, and Band of Horses.

Highly technical musicianship, free-form live jams, and wonderfully etherial songs all describe the Built To Spill sound.
