The Austin, Texas-based Spoon began as an indie rock band heavily influenced by the jarring melodic dissonance and loud-soft dynamics of the Pixies, but by the early 2000s had developed its own sound and style owing as much to angular British punk-era bands like Wire and Gang of Four as to the music of the Nineties alternative boom. The band is known as much for its heroic perseverance in the face of major-label abandonment when it became a mainstream success after moving back to an independent record label.
