Fountains of Wayne – The Summer Place
One-hit wonder is sort of a misnomer for New Jersey power-pop masters Fountains of Wayne - the band has literally released albums with potential hit singles scattered everywhere – but for the purposes of greater America “Stacy’s Mom” is all this band will be known for. That’s a bit sad, but it hasn’t stopped the band from their fifth album later this summer. Sky Full of Holes drops August 2 but has already found its way to the Internet. “The Summer Place” is the lead-off track and is about what you’d expect from FoW: killer melodies, flawless harmonies, and banal lyrics. If you’re into power pop, you should be into Fountains of Wayne.
