Биография

Justin Webb (vocals/guitars) and Christiaan (vocals/keyboards) are the sons of legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb. After first attending Boston University, they later shared a one-room studio in their adopted hometown of Chicago, IL, and soon were playing local rock clubs and dives in the Windy City. By the summer of 1998, they felt they had gone as far as they could and began concentrating their efforts on writing and recording an album in the group's rehearsal space in order to get themselves a record contract. These recordings featured their longtime drummer Neil Ostrovsky. One thousand copies were pressed up and passed around to A&R reps, but no U.S. label seemed to be interested at the time. They caught their first break right away when Wyndham Wallace decided to issue three of the demos --Cold Fingers, The Filth of It All and I'm Over & I Know It-- on his Easy! Tiger boutique label. Everyone was caught by surprise when the entire pressing of the singles -- issued with the title Excerpts from Beyond the Biosphere sold out within a week and soon they were attracting the attention they had not received in the U.S. Beyond the Biosphere, was released in the summer of 1999 on Warners U.K. The critically acclaimed Maroon produced by Stephen Street followed in 2000.
