October 1999 :: Live Ink :: Fountains of Wayne (Lisa Olen)
FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE WITH OWSLEY Troubadour Club, West Hollywood, CA July 24, 1999 by Lisa Olen What I like about shows at legendary Troubadour Club on Santa Monica Blvd. in Los Angeles, is that anyone looking for a way to pick up dates or to get smashed -- letting the music act as background and an ...

July 1999 :: Music F-H :: Fountains of Wayne (Lisa Olen)
Fountains of Wayne Utopia Parkway Atlantic For fans of musical styles like Ben Folds Five's power-pop piano driven melodies, Weezer's heavy guitar meshed with sweet vocals -- and both bands' off-kilter harmonies that somehow fit perfectly, I'm sure you already own Utopia Parkway . And if you don't ...

The Negatives (March). Review by Julio Diaz.
... in the fun as guests are ex-Voidoid Robert Quine, who contributes guitar to a few tracks (including a stellar solo on “Man On the Verge”) and The Fountains of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger, who chips in with some arranging work on the gorgeous “What’s Wrong With This Picture?” But what’s most important to ...

Mission: You (Discipline Global Mobile). Review by Sean Slone.
... unsigned bands in America, the power-pop quartet delivers the goods in spades: the guitar crunch, great hooks and nice harmonies. Fans of bands like Fountains of Wayne, The Posies, and Jellyfish will find plenty to love here. The record opens with a little girl singing "Ring Around the Rosie," before ...

Hit singles can be a double-edged sword, especially when the single in question represents a departure for the band. Case in point, The Verve Pipe, who had trouble finding radio airplay after graduating from their ubiquitous hit single, "The Freshman." Singer Brian Van Der Ark relates the hard lessons of the music biz to Gail Worley.
... Underneath -- which Brian calls "a sunny, summery-day record" -- the band chose to work with producer Adam Schlesinger (himself a member of both The Fountains of Wayne and Ivy) to capture the pop spirit of these new songs. "The big reason we chose Adam [is] because of those brilliant Fountains of Wayne ...

The Art of Disappointment (Drive-Thru). Review by Jason Feifer.
... such a bad song after all." 3) "Well, dammit, they ARE catchy! Why didn't I hear this the first time?" Benjamins are the influenced combination of Fountains of Wayne, Everclear, and any decent pop punk band. Their rock sensibility is surprisingly good, which is a fortunate conclusion after hearing the ...

February 1998 :: Music H-K :: Ivy (Jeff Montgomery)
... impressive considering the group did it themselves. So it shouldn't come as any surprise that one of the members -- Andy Schlesinger -- is also a Fountains of Wayne member, who also wrote the theme song for That Thing You Do! . Ivy is a NYC-based pure pop band that ventures into the rich, catchy, jangly ...

The Rosenbergs seemed poised for all the perks life in the majors can offer. After being touted as the best unsigned bands in America, the majors were sniffing around, and the band was offered a chance to appear on USA Network's Farmclub show. Then they made waves by rejecting the majors, exposing Farmclub's shifty business practices, and entering into an unusual alliance with Napster. What almost got lost in the process is the fact that The Rosenbergs are a damn fine power pop band, which they're proving w
... Rosenbergs are a New York-based power pop band with a terrific new record called Mission: You that will appeal to fans of bands like The Posies and Fountains of Wayne. But after a couple of years of being touted as one of the best unsigned bands in America, it is the band's unorthodox approach to the ...

October 1999 :: Music H-L :: The Katies (Bryan Tilford)
... forward to the next time I could hear it. Bits and parts of Moist and the Posies (a perfect vocal cross as well as musical styles), Soul Asylum, Fountains of Wayne, Live. A more ambitious and more often clever Cheap Trick meets a thicker, fatter Badfinger. A friendly well-adjusted Thin Lizzy jams ...

Guestroom (Minty Fresh). Review by Sean Slone.
... four years following up 1997's Apartment Life due to a fire at their recording studio and as bassist Adam Schlesinger spent time in his other band, Fountains Of Wayne. But it's only been a year since Ivy released their third album Long Distance, and here they are back with a record of fun covers. Former ...
