Powerspace

Although Ohio-bred, Chicago-based indie rockers Powerspace are area of the same Fueled by Ramen empire that unleashed FALLOUT Boy, Panic! on the Disco, as well as the Academy Is certainly…, the youthful quartet includes a subtle differ from the emo-tinged punk-pop that produced the label’s name. Powerspace focus on a mix between hooky power pop ? la Fountains of Wayne, ironic glam steel in the custom from the Darkness, and intensely ’80s-inspired dance-rock textures that remember early MTV superstars like INXS and Duran Duran. Powerspace produced at Ohio’s Miami School in 2005, when two high-school close friends in the suburbs of Chicago, guitarist Tom Schleiter and bassist Daniel McMahon, reunited on campus. Schleiter have been in an area music group at Miami School with drummer Kevin Kane, so when the somewhat younger McMahon began college a season afterwards, the trio produced its group. After auditioning a succession of business lead performers, McMahon and Schleiter reconnected with another previous high-school classmate today at Miami School, Alec Cyganowski, who overran the function of frontman. After functioning the southern Ohio tour circuit, the quartet documented a self-released demonstration EP, Houston, WE’VE a celebration, in 2006. The demonstration as well as the band’s raising live reputation made a flurry of label curiosity, resolved when Powerspace agreed upon with Fueled by Ramen. Quitting college and moving back again to Chicago, Powerspace documented their debut recording, The Kicks of Enthusiasm, in early 2007 for launch that summer.
