Spin Doctors have announced their first album in 12 years, titled Face Full of Cake — which will also be the band’s first album for Capitol Records. The band also debuted the first single off the album, “Still a Gorilla”, alongside the lyric video for the track, which you can listen to – HERE.

Set for release on April 11, Face Full of Cake finds vocalist Chris Barron, guitarist Eric Schenkman and drummer Aaron Comess collaborating with Jack Daley (who replaced longtime bass player Mark White in 2021). The band recorded Face Full of Cake at Daley’s studio in Asbury Park and some of the material has its origins in the early days of the pandemic.

Drummer Comess said in an official statement: “We weren’t really thinking of it as a record. We’ve gone through a lot of phases in our 35 years, and sometimes things really gel and sometimes they’re just extremely difficult. When we made this record, we captured a moment where it felt effortless. There’s a really fresh energy in the tracks [and] a sense of us discovering the songs as we played them.”

Spin Doctors will celebrate Face Full of Cake with a special release show on April 12 at Brooklyn Bowl in New York, and then hit the road for additional tour dates throughout 2025.
