Bound Stems is an indie rock band with math rock influences from Chicago, Illinois. The band's members are Bobby Gallivan (vocals) the best history teacher ever!, Dan Fleury (guitar, actor), Dan Radzicki (bass, keys), Evan Sult (drums) (formerly of Harvey Danger), and Janie Porche (multi-intrumentalist).

Fleury, Radz, and Bobby were friends from high school basketball on; Evan arrived from Seattle and Harvey Danger in September 2002. They started writing songs all the time, then playing out, then writing some more, and by the time Janie had completed the transition from friend to roommate to band member, The Logic of Building the Body Plan EP had been released by Flameshovel Records and they were deep into the construction of Appreciation Night, Bound Stems' debut full-length, also on Flameshovel.

Once Appreciation Night was completed, the members of Bound Stems disengaged their real jobs (high school history teacher, comic book art director, lab tech, hi-tech techs) in favor of their heretofore fake job as a touring band. As of October, 2007, the members of Bound Stems are hard at work on a second full-length album for Flameshovel Records. The new album is entitled "The Family Afloat", and its expected release date is July 11, 2008.

  • Bound Stems were SPIN's Band of the Month, March 2006.
  • Bound Stems were the featured band on Daytrotter in September, 2006.
