Sidecar

Cleveland pop-punk quartet Sidecar -- singer/drummer Brandon, guitarists Billy and Brett, and bassist Steve -- debuted in 1995 with the 7" Swingset, followed a year later by the full-length Three Wheel Heroes. At some point, Pete replaced Billy on guitar; guitarist Phil also joined on along the way. The Take a Loss EP appeared in 1998, and in mid-1999 Sidecar returned with All Those Opposed on Fast Music. Working in the studio with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore, You're Killing Me appeared in early 2003, and though a split release with Samiam was also worked on, it was ultimately shelved by the label without being released. Having built a solid local and Midwest following -- but remaining rather unknown elsewhere -- Sidecar last played together in mid-2003, as the bandmembers then went on to play with other projects. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
