Artist History Since first launching their upbeat insurrection in 1995, the L.A. four-piece has become a major force in the city's thriving pop music scene. In the process, they've earned the grateful thanks of fans and journalists around the globe -- while cheerfully disproving the dour naysayers who treat "pop" as if it were a four-letter word.

Albums Separated at Birth

Press Reviews Hits : "It's okay to be happy, POMO kids - and there's no better soundtrack to daily bliss than this L.A. foursome's upbeat tunes. LA Weekly: Separated At Birth is one helluva crackerjack pop record...The songs grow fangs and claws onstage, but never at the expense of the melodies, and you are virtually guaranteed to leave an Anderson gig humming -- and grinning -- to yourself. Amplifier: Songs that are so infectious and lively that they'll coax a dance out of even the most sedentary among you. Separated At Birth has been a long time coming, but was definitely worth the wait. An excellent album!."

Additional Info Second CD to be released late 2000 called Family Secrets
