The Spinouts are a rock and roll band out of Los Angeles, California, built on a shared love for making music. Brothers Collin and Chris Demersseman brought in Thatcher Horrocks three years ago and they quickly began writing their own songs. Not long after, they crossed paths with Kyle Justesen at Musicians Institute in Hollywood. Since then, it’s been nothing but rock and roll history in the making.

Brothers Colin and Chris DeMersseman, the band’s lead guitarist, met Spinout singer Thatcher  Horrocks at Redondo Union High School. Their origin story starts out like many bands, with a high school music course and a shared interest in Led Zeppelin. “Colin was in the class and he was wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt, and I was this weird homeschooled kid, and I was like, ‘Yo, bro, that’s a cool Led Zeppelin shirt,” Horrocks said.

Classic rock and its evolution intertwine with their current sound. “All the eras of rock have led up to what we’re trying to create,” Horrocks said. “We’re trying to make our own sound by being inspired by all the great rock bands, from the 60s to the 2000s, and hopefully in the 2020s it’s The Spinouts.”

The way Horrocks contorts his face is reminiscent of Mick Jagger, while DeMersseman’ guitar solos wail like Jimi Hendrix’s.

“Thatcher brings an energy, a stage presence that just electrifies the audience,” Koffler said.

Horrocks said South Bay bands like Blag Flag and Descendants have shaped their journey too. “I’m really inspired by the story arc of those bands. When you go back in time to when they started, they were all just homies too,” Horrocks laughed.

Their social media bios bookend “rock n’ roll” with lightning bolt emojis. But the idea of creating consistent content for an industry landscape dominated by views, likes and virality has been a challenge for the band.

“It’s almost less about the music now and more about making content,” Chris said.

“We do it a little bit, but I would say the majority of our focus right now is trying to perfect our sound and make sure that we have good music,” Horrocks said.
