Chris and Charlie are both former residents of Juneau, Alaska. They moved to the city of roses to rock with the big kids. Dave was once a scientist. He hails from Boring, Oregon (really!).

HIGHLIGHT:
Pond’s performances at the 1992 New Music Seminar got ecstatic reviews in the British press. The band had full-page features before they released a single song. Their debut single, “Young Splendor/Tree” on Portland’s Tim Kerr Records gained wide recognition, including Single Of The Week in Melody Maker. Pond released the “Wheel/Cinders” 7-inch on Sub Pop in November 1999.

“We just wanted danceable, driving drums, and lotsa melodies and hooks, and it all seems to come out murky and thick.”
