Spencer Seim is best known as the guitarist in the band Hella. He is also the drummer in the Nintendo music cover band called The Advantage. As a guitarist, he is known for quirky riffs featuring notes bent in and out of dissonance as well as a random rapid picking style, both of which are utilized in practically undefinable time signatures. He has been practicing on and off with Zach Hill (Hella drummer) since they both started playing music and both have been influencing each other throughout their musicianship. As a drummer, Spencer's style is very similar to that of Zach's: playing for The Advantage, Spencer employs percussive methods such as repetitive doubles on a single bass drum and quick cymbal muting, both of which are also very noticeable in Zach's playing style.

Spencer's musical abilities aren't just limited to guitar or drums; on some of his more recent work, such as Hella's Chirpin Hard album (written and performed by Spencer), Spencer also utilizes keyboards, synths, drum machines, and other instruments in his music.
