Afternoon Naps - Parade

2009 album from the Cleveland-based Indie popsters. With nothing more than just three minutes, and a 'verse-chorus-verse-chorus- end!' motto, Afternoon Naps are a vibrant band indeed. Like Brian Wilson if re-imagined by Felt or the Primitives, these teenage symphonies are relics from the past; brought back to save the 21st century from complete and utter Pop boredom. Influenced by the C86 scene, 60's bubblegum, and sunshine pop act Yellow Balloon, songwriter/guitarist Tom Dechristofaro and keyboardist/arranger Leia Hohenfeld have been happily playing together since 2006.
