Hometown -- Baltimore
Current members --Jim Mengel, guitar; Matt Anderson, bass; Tim Ford, vocals; Mike Franklin, guitar; Dale Smith, keyboards; Garrett Adler, drums
Founded in --2003
Style --psychedelic pop rock
Influenced by --Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins
Notable --Though the band just released a new EP, Stalin's New Haircut, it's been a part of the budding Station North Arts and Entertainment district for some time. With the studio Hour Haus as a base, it plays regularly in the area.
Quotable --"It's a really exciting time for Baltimore," Mengel said. "Especially with the kind of national exposure Dan Deacon has been getting and the whole Wham City Collective. ... Hopefully, we can make some sort of name for Hour Haus as Wham City has done -- have one or two breakout artists that inspire an entire scene and build it organically."
