A Detroit duo whose catchy, guitar-driven songs outlasted their unusual name.
For a quick sense of their range, try 'If You Didn't See Me (Then You Weren't On The Dancefloor)' for the early energy, then 'Nothing But Our Love' for the later melodic pull.
They started with a name borrowed from a NASCAR driver, which told you something about their offbeat Detroit spirit right away. A track like 'If You Didn't See Me (Then You Weren't On The Dancefloor)' became an early anthem, all rhythm and live energy. Later songs like 'James Dean' and 'Nothing But Our Love' showed the melodic indie pop they settled into, the kind that sticks in your head.
Joshua Epstein and Daniel Zott began working together in Detroit in 2006, building a following with energetic early shows. Their first album 'Horse Power' arrived in 2007, followed by records like 'It's a Corporate World' and 'The Speed of Things' as their sound shifted. They kept putting out music through their self-titled 2015 album before winding down.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
