The band has gone on to achieve critical success both locally and nationally, with two LA Music Award performances and nominations, including “National Artist Of The Year.” In 2002, Spiral Trance placed in the Top Ten at the ASCAP Grammy Showcase Awards for the song Hellacious and in 2003 for Breathe Again.
