Artist History stereosoul is a four-piece modern rock quartet that writes three-minute tunes about the little things that matter so much in life ....formed as cosmic avenger in 1995 by brothers john and gene pompilio (songs, singing, guitar, drums), they soon added longtime college friend john moller (synth bass, keyboards).... influenced by 60's and 70's AM radio, as well as the alternative rock movement of the 80's and 90's, they developed a sound combining the melodic sensibiltites of british invasion pop with a unique view of the modern world.....a cd,"the sunlight diner & the meaning of life" was well-received by the press and earned the band a trip to LA to perform in the prestigious International Pop Overthrow in 1999....the disc was featured on several local and national "end of the year" lists, and received extensive airplay on U.S. college radio stations, including freeform trailblazers WFMU 91.1FM, as well as heavy rotation overseas on syndicated shows..... they had songs placed on two compilation cds, and were also invited to play the Baltimore Pop Festival....in 2001, the band released a home-recorded disc called "something on the radio" to critical raves....the arrival of guitarist tom spelda in late 2002 signalled a name change to stereosoul, as the new quartet set about recording its first proper studio album at hoboken, nj's pigeon club....
