Spiral Beach was a Canadian indie rock band, formed in 2003 in Toronto, Canada. The group consisted of vocalist and guitarist Airick Woodhead, vocalist and keyboardist Maddy Wilde, bassist Dorian Wolf and drummer Daniel Woodhead.

Their live shows are showcases for their fearless performance style and sophisticated songwriting skills, taking the theatricality of bands like the B-52s and setting it to shockingly inventive music. Dorian the yank was born in spanish harlem, moved to Toronto when he was eleven, and has family spread all over the world. He met Daniel in high school and was asked to play bass in the band, not knowing what he was getting himself into. As befits a bass player, he's the most grounded of the four, the only one to hold a steady job (at a local toronto bar), and easily the closest one to sanity.
