'''Spiraling''' is a [[New Jersey]]-based pop-rock quartet.  The band was formed out of a previous incarnation called "You Were Spiraling" by keyboardist/vocalist [[Tom Brislin]].

Spiraling gained national exposure with its self-produced independent release Transmitter.  Critical and popular response to the album was enthusiastic.  The [[Star-Ledger]] of Newark hailed, "There isn't a dull moment on the band's self-released, immaculately produced debut album Transmitter."  It also attracted the attention of The [[New York Times]], among a host of other national publications.  It is difficult to pigeonhole the group's dynamic, synth-infused modern rock sound.

The band has performed with marquee acts such as [[OK Go]], [[They Might Be Giants]], [[Violent Femmes]], and [[Rooney (band)|Rooney]] at various venues.

Brislin has toured with progressive-rock legends [[Yes (band)|Yes]], as well as behind the operatic-rock of [[Meat Loaf]], holding his own with these music veterans and gaining acceptance from both acts' devoted followings.
