Release Notes:

The Meadows are Todd Herfindal and Kevin Houlihan,
long time musical co-conspirators who decided to
make a rock record like records used to be made,
when the songs came first. Written and recorded
between fall 2004 and summer of 2005 in Hollywood,
the idea was to create something classic, timeless
and lasting. It follows then that The Meadows
self-titled debut album is, without question, the
most unanticipated rock album of 2005. Nobody knew
it was coming, and no one knows where it will go.
Todd and Kevin both share lead vocal
responsibilities. Using the tried and true
foundation of drums, bass and guitars, The Meadows
built upon the sound with strings, vocal harmonies,
organ, violin, viola and noise to create an album
that is expansive and cinematic. In fact, the fourth
track from the album, "Younger Yesterday," is
featured in the Fox/New Regency film "Little
Manhattan," releasing on September 30th, 2005 in NYC
and Oct 28th nationwide. The song will also appear
on the movie soundtrack album. It's a good start for
The Meadows indeed.

Todd Herfindal is formerly of the San Francisco
alt/rock band Blue Sky Roadster and Los
Angeles-based pop/rock band Single. Both bands
enjoyed regional success and college/commercial
radio play. Single's debut album "Welcome Nada"
entered the CMJ top 200 in fall of 2004. Kevin
Houlihan is formerly of the New Jersey-based band
The Fundamentals (MCA) and the founder of Los
Angeles band Moontower.
