Editor's note

The Belle Brigade's folk-pop harmonies and legal battles

A California duo whose melodic songs landed on Grey's Anatomy while they fought their label in court.

For their sound, try "Belt Of Orion" or "Losers." The harmonies are tight, and the production stays out of the way.

Their music has a clean, melodic quality that works well in film and TV placements. Songs like "Losers" and "Lucky Guy" have appeared on Grey's Anatomy and in The Twilight Saga. Their 2011 lawsuit against Nettwerk Records over royalties became part of their story, but they kept recording through it.

Ethan Anderson and Barbara Gruska formed the band in Sebastopol, California, releasing their self-titled debut in 2011. They followed with albums like "Just Because" and "Fear of the Unknown" while their legal dispute with Nettwerk played out over several years.
