The Resume

    (1990- )
    Based in New York City
    Andy Chase (Guitarist/songwriter)
    Adam Schlesinger (Guitarist/songwriter)
    Rafa Maciejak (Drummer)
    Mike Viola (Guitarist)
    Recorded 'Undertow,' 'I've Got a Feeling,' 'Hideaway' and 'Lucy Doesn't Love You'
    Contributed 'This is the Day' for the 'Something About Mary' soundtrack

Why they might be annoying:

    Durand and Chase are married.
    Before having a record contract, Seed Records requested to see them perform live, but they refused.
    Schlesinger formed a band in-between albums called Fountains of Wayne (a name that Jakob Dylan wished to use before settling for Wallflowers). His band did so well that he put Ivy on hold with a half-finished album.
    The building that housed their recording studio suspiciously caught fire, pushing back the release of their album 'Long Distance.'
    Durand and Chase had a child, also pushing back the release of their album 'Long Distance.'
    Although Durand doesn't play an instrument, she is the toughest critic in the group.
    Schlesinger said about Durand, 'She has a good corny meter. Andy and I have a tendency to be completely cheesy, so she reigns us in.'
    They don't like to tour.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Seed Records signed them, despite not seeing them perform live.
    They have a big Japanese following.
    They have a unique and comforting indie-pop edge.
