Pond

Senior high school buddies Chris Brady and Charlie Campbell relocated off their hometown of Juneau, AK, to Portland, OR, in 1989. 2 yrs afterwards, they recruited drummer Dave Triebwasser (ex-Thrillhammer) and shaped Pond. These were quickly agreed upon to Sub Pop, and their eponymous 1993 debut record fit nicely in to the Pacific Northwest grunge motion that was dominating well-known music. But using their brief locks and earnest tracks, Pond under no circumstances quite match the grunge picture and they battled to get notoriety beyond Portland and Seattle, where that they had actually become very popular. Their second Sub Pop record, 1995’s The Practice of Pleasure Before Loss of life, brought a darker audio, however, not a wider viewers. Despite their limited group of fans, important acclaim was building, and finally Fish-pond would become among the many up-and-coming rings to indication to a significant label. That label was Sony’s Function Group, and Pond’s great major debut Rock and roll Collection made an appearance in 1997 to very much critical compliment but a collective yawn from customers. Their one, “Spokes,” didn’t garner constant radio play beyond the Northwest, and Rock and roll Collection disappeared through the commercial radar immediately after its discharge. Pond parted methods with Sony in early 1998 and was rumored to become working on a fresh record. But by past due 1998, Pond’s people had shifted to different passions, making a fresh Pond record unlikely to occur in the foreseeable future.
