BAND BIO
Recent Photo is a quirky Chicago-based noise-pop-rock outfit that puts on lively shows integrating karaoke dance musics, noise toy textures, and fake instrument playing with more traditional guitar pop-rock performance. The foursome consists of fuzz bassist and frontman Derek (formerly with Food, Mant, Peep, and Phenomenal Cat), former ballerina and drummer (and Metapuffs member) Candy, noisist/thereminist Joe (formerly with Tinkerband and Gunshop), and lead and rhythm guitarist Tris (also of Metapuffs).

Got Songs?
author: Darren Stroger
Not so fast, Mr. Anonymous. There are indeed some stellar moments here, but these photos have yet to demonstrate they're in the realm of the Beatles or Eno at their best. That said, there are few recent pop albums out of Chicago that can hold a candlestick to this one. Highly recommended.

Eclectic Pop Masterpiece
author: Anonymous
This is a true underground treasure. It's not by any stretch immaculately produced or even performed, but these are songs of tremendous substance that if underappreciated now will get their due 20 or 30 years down the line.
