The Layaways (band)

The Layaways are an American indie rock band, based in Chicago. The group was founded by David Harrell (vocals/guitar) who released "More Than Happy" as a solo album in 2003.[1] Mike Porter (vocals/bass) and Nathan Burleson (drums/vocals) joined the lineup in 2004 for "We've Been Lost," the band's sophomore release.[2] The group's third album, "The Space Between," was released in 2008,[3] followed by "Maybe Next Year," a collection of holiday songs, in 2009.[4] The band's music is often described by reviewers as shoegaze or indie pop[5] and the group has also received attention for its exploration of alternative business models[6] and for Harrell's frequent writings about digital music economics.[7] [8] [9]
