I, for the longest time, thought this band was from England, just judging by the sound of the music they make. They are actually from Silver Lake, California, and are just heavily influenced by the Britpop sound.
The band came together in 2002, mainly by frontman Ben Ashley. He brought together the rest of the band, and they were signed just a few months after recording their first demos.
The band released their self-titled debut album in 2004, with a few minor hits, such as "The Long Road" and "Firefly." They attempted to cross over to pop with their song "Waiting for The Sun" with little results.
The band seems to have been dropped from their record label, and released an album, 2008's "Light Years" by themselves. They're touring too, but sticking close to their home-base in California.
Check out today's Flashback Week entry, from 2002, it's The Shore, and "Waiting For The Sun."
