Fountains Of Wayne

Power-pop heroes Fountains Of Wayne released six smart albums full of wry lyrics and sticky hooks.

Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood met in college and formed Fountains Of Wayne, named after a New Jersey outdoor-furniture shop, in 1995.

After the duo recorded a demo that got them signed, drummer Brian Young and guitarist Jody Porter joined the group, and their self-titled debut came out in 1996.
