Release Notes:
--------
Hailing from Delaware (home to a few notable bands over the years, including
Television and more recently, the Spinto Band), Steve Chesser rose to the top of
his friends' iPod playlists in early 2007 with a handful of home-grown demos.
Several months and lots of hard work later, Chesser completed work on a
full-length album, titled It's Plain (released in the summer of '08) and
assembled a full band for live shows and future work.
Joining lyrics dealing with loss, disappointment and regret with anatomically
correct indie pop melodies, the music reflects some of Chesser's influences, who
include Robyn Hitchcock, Pixies, Sebadoh, the Beach Boys, Superchunk and the Boo
Radleys. Early feedback is that the sound is not unlike REM in some parallel
universe. It's Plain is receiving rave reviews ("...The guitar work and
harmonies are beautifully composed and performed..." - Powerpopaholic.com), and
is getting airplay as well (93.7 WSTW, Wilmington, DE; XM Radio, and others).
