[edit] History
After performing with Fountains of Wayne co-founder Chris Collingwood in the band “Smalltown Criers,[2]” Scott Klass formed The Davenports. In 2000 the band released their first album “Speaking of The Davenports” to positive reviews. Allmusic described the album as having “taken subtle college power pop to an infinitely pleasing level.[3]” MTV licensed music from the record for the shows “Undressed” and “The Sausage Factory.[4]”
The band’s follow-up recording “Hi-Tech Lowlife” was released in 2005 again to positive reviews. Popmatters described the record as “subtle power pop at its most pleasant,[5]” while AllMusic critic Jason Damas cited the band as “[offering] some of the most lyrically and musically rich modern guitar-pop.[6]”
In an April 2008 interview with The Deli Magazine, Scott Klass said that the band's next record "Why The Great Gallop?" will be released "likely in the next month or two."[7]
