Description
[Machine Translation] This five-piece group is led by Matt Pond, a singer/songwriter originally from New England, who moved to Philadelphia and now lives and works in Brooklyn. Originally in a rock band called Mel's Rockpile, Matt moved to Philadelphia to pursue a more personal and sincere expression, and gathered musicians he had met to form Matt Pond P.A. PA is, of course, Philadelphia. The original drummer was Sean Byrne, known for his work with Mazarin (of PUMA commercial fame), Lenora, and Twin Atlas. Released almost entirely independently, it won the top prize in the "Unsigned Band Contest" held by the online store CD NOW. The band's second album, Measure (2000), and an EP, I Thought You Were Sleeping (2001), were released on file 13, an important Philadelphia label run by Brian Soquel, who is also a member of Franklin and AM/FM. In 2002, the band renewed its lineup, including Eve Miller, a former member of Rachel's, on cello, and the label added Illinois' Polyvinyl (Owen, Joan of Arc, Braid, 31 Knots, 31 Knots, and 31 Knots) to the aforementioned AM/FM label. The band released a 7" album, "This Is Not The Green Fury", and a third album, "The Green Fury" (2002), and made its Japanese debut on P-VINE. They also made their Japan debut on P-VINE. After the release of their fourth album, "The Nature Of Maps", Matt moved to Brooklyn, New York. The band again changed members and moved to the New York-based Altitude label, releasing their fifth album, "Emblems" (2004) (which was released the following year in the UK on b-unique, a well-known label for the Kaiser Chiefs and the Ordinary Boys), and a massive US tour with Keane. In 2005, the band toured extensively in the U.S. with Keane and Neil Yan.
