Although didn't enjoy mainstream attention until the release of 'Stacy's Mom' in 2003, the band had already established itself as one of America's strongest power pop acts. Based in New Jersey, the group first appeared in 1996 with a mix of British-influenced pop songs, lo-fi production, and wry lyrics about dead-end jobs and biker boyfriends. Expanded their lineup and polished up their sound during the following years, eventually hitting gold with 2003's. While that album proved to be something of a fluke success, the band continued releasing well-crafted records throughout the subsequent years. Meanwhile, co-founder enjoyed a separate career as a producer and ghostwriter for other artists. First crossed paths with in 1986, while both were studying at Massachusetts' Williams College. Sharing a mutual affection for melodic British pop, the two formed a series of short-lived bands before recording an LP under the name.
The duo split up after legal hassles blocked the album's release, with resurfacing as part of the indie pop band and joining a Boston-based country group named the Mercy Buckets. The two musicians eventually reunited in 1996 as, christening their band after a lawn ornament store in Wayne, NJ. Atlantic Records released the duo's self-titled LP that same year, and helped create some more buzz by authoring the title song to the movie That Thing You Do!
