As with the previous band, Grundler draws most of his inspiration from the U.K.'s current crop of guitar-oriented bands (Coldplay, Radiohead and Travis, etc.), so naturally, Paloalto's musical dynamics follow in the quiet-loud-quiet vein, with Grundler's expressive vocals soaring high above the music. This combination earned the band an enthusiastic fanbase in Los Angeles almost immediately; within a year, producer Rick Rubin signed Paloalto to his label, and produced their first album. This eponymous effort went largely unnoticed and after a personnel change, Paloalto went back into the studio to try again. Armed with a dozen Grundler originals, the group recorded their sophomore effort, <I>Heroes and Villains</I>. This effort found the band softening up some of their rough edges, resulting in a lush, beautifully crafted album with a number of could-be singles housed within. Despite using the album's stunning centerpiece, "Breathe In" as the background music on a number of teen-oriented television programs, the album failed to ignite. - Linda RyanBrit Rocken720Fri, 11 Dec 2009 05:11:13 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5036&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fpaloalto%2Fplaylists.rss Singer James Grundler formed Paloalto in Los Angeles in 1999, shortly after shuttering the doors on his first band, the Din Pedals.
