Spank is a hard rock quartet, not the thing you’d like to give to a women that hails from North Carolina and released an album called Get Bent.

Talented and experienced musicians make up the band under the names of Brian Boles (guitarist & vocalists), David Barker (guitar & vocals), Jody Blevins (bass & vocals) and Ben Barker (drummer & vocalist).
After a self titled EP released in 2005, was followed with a full length album called "The Monkey" that was released in 2006.
In 2008 they released “Get Bent” on the market. And this album is half good/half bad. It starts off very powerful and variated, even a band with 4 vocalists is a nice welcomed concept. But when you take a closer look (listen) you WILL recognize riffs you heard somewhere before dressed up in another sound, I know you can’t reinvent the wheel but a little more effort would have made this band stand out what because of this isn’t the case.
