Fountains Of Wayne Biography
Fountains of Wayne is a Grammy-nominated American power pop band that formed in New York City in 1996. Initially the band went by other names, including Are You My Mother? and Woolly Mammoth, before settling on Fountains of Wayne, taken from a lawn ornament store in Wayne, New Jersey.
The group was formed by songwriters Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood who were later joined by Jody Porter and Brian Young and recorded a demo. The demo fell into the hands of Atlantic Records and in 1996 the band released their debut self-titled album. Two singles were released from it but it was the song, “That Thing You Do,” written by Schlesinger, which gained popularity through its use as the title song for the Tom Hanks' film of the same name. The track earned Schlesinger an Academy Award and the soundtrack received RIAA gold certification.
The release of their second album, “Utopia Parkway,” in 1999 gained them mixed reviews and produced three singles; however, frustrations between the band and the label resulted in them being dropped by Atlantic Records. The band went into a hiatus, with all the members pursuing alternative musical paths. It wasn't until 2001 that the band resurfaced with a cover of The Kinks' “Better Things.”
“Welcome Interstate Managers,” their third album, was released in 2003 on S-Curve Records. The single “Stacy's Mom” became an instant success earning a gold certification by the RIAA. The two follow up singles, “Mexican Wine” and “Hey Julie” were not as popular, however, the track “All Kinds of Time” received commercial airtime through NFL promotions throughout the 2005 season. The success, particularly of “Stacy's Mom,” led to the band being nominated for two Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals for “Stacy's Mom.”
A compilation of B-Sides was released in June 2005 entitled, “Out-of-State Plates” and two years later, in April 2007, a new album was released called “Traffic and Weather.” The band's first DVD, “No Better Place: Live In Chicago” was released in March 2009.
In 2011 the band released their fifth studio album, “Sky Full of Holes.” The album debuted at #37 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, the band’s highest initial entry to date.
