Fountains of Wayne
Fountains of Wayne was an American rock band celebrated for their sharp wit, infectious melodies, and power-pop sensibilities. Formed in 1995 by Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood, the band achieved mainstream success with their 2003 hit "Stacy's Mom," a cheeky, retro-inspired anthem that captured global attention. Their albums, including Welcome Interstate Managers and Utopia Parkway, showcase their knack for storytelling, often chronicling suburban life with humor and poignancy.
