One of the forerunners of indie rock, Built To Spill, are back again in full form with a 2007 summer tour set to begin on Friday, June 29.
The band is adorn worldwide by legions of loyal indie rock fans, some who have been following BTS since their early pioneer blazing days into new realms of alternative rock as a counterpart to the grunge movement.
Built to Spill became an eventual substitute for many grunge rock fans after the suicide of Kurt Cobain. Many rockers agree that the death of Nirvana’s front man marked the end of the grunge rock era that exploded out of Seattle in the early 90’s.
Of course some rock critics still debate BTS’s place in indie rock.
In fact, Steve Huey of allmusic.com observes: “Built to Spill were one of the most popular indie rock acts of the ’90s, finding the middle ground between postmodern, Pavement-style pop and the loose, spacious jamming of Neil Young.”
However one wants to categorize the band’s exact genre home – they span many – the fact that the aging trio is back to give fans their branded style of indie rock is a treat not to be under appreciated.
Last year, the band’s first album in five years titled “You in Reverse” attracted an 
overwhelmingly positive response followed by a delayed, but successful tour.
