Fountains Of Wayne – Welcome Interstate Managers (2003)

A trip to the local Oxfam this weekend yielded a few results, and for some reason I was in the mood for a punt, so parted with a quid for this, knowing little about the band.

Fountains Of Wayne founded in New York City in 1995, and this, their third album was, apparently their breakthrough in commercial terms.

After one listen, it seems to consist of mercifully short pop songs, which are perfectly OK, but display little which sets them apart from thousands of bands doing similar.
