Treason claims its five members from the spans of North America including Toronto, Canada, Seattle, Washington and San Jose California. Their debut Waterstreet offering, Spinning, has been embraced by the worldwide press as delivering "the rock voice of the millennium" - Italy's Metal Shock magazine, "pumping, gut wrenching guitars" - USA's Electric Basement, "keyboards nothing short of a mindblower" - Portland Music Network, and a "rhythm section as precise as a swiss watch" - Metal Shock magazine. Treason lays claim to the heart and the imagination of its fans. In the words of Sonic Foundry e-zine, Treason has "serious talent, serious potential", or more succinctly as Germany's Rock Reunion says "Long Live Treason!"
The band's key members were wow-ing the local club circuit in 1996 as keyboardist Ted Stockwell and bassist Jim Dixon joined forces with guitarist Karl Haug and drummer Pete Stern. In 1999, the band started collaborating with Sue Ennis (songwriter, Heart), with Ennis eventually taking on more and more of the lyric writing. With the addition of vocalist Jason Saunders behind the microphone, the band's evolution was complete. Explains Saunders, "the group had this amazing collection of songs and the vibe was magic. I'm telling you, it was a dream situation."
Treason's previous self titled album, which featured Alan White and Billy Sherwood of Yes, caught the attention of Waterstreet, a new media company in search of serious talent. Waterstreet got Treason into the studio immediately, arranging for the bands chief songwriter/keyboardist Ted Stockwell to produce, Zack Reinig (Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains) to engineer and celebrated producer/mix man Ron Saint Germain (Creed, Soundgarden, 311, Living Color, Tool, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc) to mix. "It was incredible to have this wealth of experience, imagination and enthusiasm at our disposal. The situation couldn't have been better," said Stockwell. Adds Stern "Making Spinning was an amazing experience. You can hear it in the songs; you can feel it in this album. It always gives me shivers when I hear it."
