    Fountains of Wayne is an American power pop band, formed in 1995. The band name was taken from the name of a lawn-
    ornament store in Wayne, New Jersey, not far from
    Montclair, New Jersey, the hometown of the band’s
    bassist and cofounder Adam Schlesinger (it has since gone out of business). The band was formed by Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood. The two first met as freshmen at Williams College and began playing music together
    in various bands. The two eventually went their
    separate ways with Collingwood forming the Mercy Buckets in Boston and Schlesinger forming IVY in New York City. The two met up once again during
    the mid ’90s and formed Fountains of Wayne. A
    demo eventually landed the two a deal with Atlantic
    Records and in 1996 they released their self titled
    debut. The album spawned the singles Radiation Vibe and Sink to the Bottom which received airplay, but it was Schlesinger’s song entitled That Thing You Do! which became a hit being used as the lead track for the Tom Hanks film of the same name. “That
    Thing You Do!” also brought Schlesinger an Oscar
    nomination and an RIAA gold certification for the hit
    soundtrack. Along with guitarist Jody Porter and drummer Brian Young, the band toured the world extensively behind the album playing alongside bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins and The Lemonheads. In 1999, the band returned with their second album, Utopia Parkway, a loosely-based concept album about life in the American suburbs in the late 1990s.
    Unfortunately, a much-changed radio climate left
    little room in playlists for Fountains of Wayne’s
    snarky power-pop, and the album, along with its
    three singles Denise, Red Dragon Tattoo, and Troubled Times, sank without much notice.
