I know this is a total longshot, but by accident I stumbled on this
band at work called Baby Steps.
http://www.emusic.com/album/10816/10816824.html Its nice poppy stuff
and I liked it, but I can't find any info on them.
Does anyone have any info on them? I figure its a long shot but no
harm in trying.
Then there is this band: 20 Minute Loop. From AMG:
"Greg Giles and Kelly Atkins are the primary songwriting partnership
behind 20 Minute Loop. The band has nothing to do with loops and
everything to do with good, old-fashioned alienated roots of
alterna-rock (the territory formerly occupied by other mighty,
mixed-gender bands like X and the Pixies). They're disenfranchised all
right, but the music doesn't necessarily reflect the singers'
distress. Instead, happy hooks, cute keyboard passages, new wave beats
("Face Like a Horse"), climactic anthems ("You Know So Much") and tidy
but glorious pop ("Bunnyman and Chickengirl") are the tuneful
accompaniments to the requisite millennial themes of hardship in all
of life's quarters. Former member of the beloved, cult pop band
Jellyfish, producer Chris Manning ties it all together into a
super-sweet indie-rock-box. "
Is any of their stuff worth getting? I'm a Jellyfish fan, which is
what got me interested.
