Pennsylvania-based outfit Robin Ross & The Melodynes present 'Spill No Mo Wine', a fun-loving single born from a high-spirited gathering on Lake Huron. Straight from the bottle right to your dancing feet, this track captures the energetic atmosphere of friendship and celebration, using a humorous mishap as a metaphor for resilience when life's plans briefly spill out of control.
Anchoring the band's sophomore 'Mind Space' album, scheduled for release in early 2026 via RPM Entertainment, here the band infuses classic rock with modern pop sensibilities in the spirit of The B-52s, with a side of Tony and even The Pretenders.
Robin Ross & The Melodynes is not just about music - it's about big fun between like-minded artists, including Wharton Tiers, JoJo Ellen Gaetani, Katlyn Albrecht, Nancy Isola, TW Howell, Emery Rhodes, Joe (Bass) Torres and Tony Anniello. Their collective good vibes cannot help but seep into the music, carrying over to their listeners.
'Mind Space' was recorded at Baa Baa Leaf Music Studio in Milford, PA, which straddles the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Ross produced and engineered this album, along with famed engineer Jonathan Duckett (Phillip Glass, Kenny G, David Sanborn). Not long ago, Ross released 'Back To The Forest', the debut EP as Robin Ross & The TW Howlers, a songwriting project with storied folk-rock artist TW Howell, which received critical acclaim and airplay in dozens of countries.
"'Spill No Mo Wine' came to be on the shores of Lake Huron on the Bois Blanc Island in Michigan. There upon the bowling-ball-shaped rocks, wearing flip-flops, I composed this with a guitar in one hand and one big carafe-sized glass of wine in the other. I sat down, put the wine carefully on a rock and began playing, when this riff started. I took one more sip of wine, put it down and it fell off the rock, spilling the wine completely into the soppy sand," explains Robin Ross.
"But the glass held firm and didn't break. Deciding to finish the riff, I put it back on the rock and looked into it for inspiration. Then came the hook, chorus and a special break. In good spirit, I returned to the house for a refill and played the song for our friends. The song is about grit and how, sometimes, best laid plans can vanish in one quick moment."
With musical roots in New Jersey and New York dating back to 1988, Robin Ross has established himself in the bustling artistic community of Milford, PA, A musician, songwriter, and producer with diverse musical endeavours spanning over three decades, he has released five albums and played a pivotal role in creating several recording studios, including Triple R Studios and Sound Complex near New York City. Ross' current recording studio, Baa Baa Leaf Music Studio, continues to expand.
In the early 1990s, Robin co-founded the band Laughing Jack, later rebranded as Jack’s Maze, who gained acclaim for a progressive rock sound reminiscent of such icons as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. But, as occurs for many artists, life and business took him in a different direction. In 2021, with rekindled passion, Robin embarked on new projects, including both of the aforementioned projects. Robin also regrouped with Jack's Maze members Frank Cinquegrana, Scott Cowan, and Joe Torres to create new progressive rock albums. The Forecast is predicting a new Jack's Maze album in the Spring of 26'.
As of December 1, 'Spill No Mo Wine' is available via the artist's website and from fine digital platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon and Bandcamp.
