Better known as
Double Naught Spies, this L.A.-based quartet made minor ripples in their local power pop sphere, and managed to crank out two albums before calling it quits. Despite being demos, these three tracks sound fully realized, on the more guitars-y side of the spectrum I might add, slotting in splendidly with the likes of Super Deluxe, Material Issue, Gigolo Aunts and even Redd Kross. I don't have much more in the way of details to dispel on these guys, but if this is your trip, you'll be happy to know that the band's back catalog is available in essentially one fell swoop on
Bandcamp.

Pretty good sound. The main guy Rick Hromadka appears to be successful as a tv music writer and sound designer mixer for deamworks., bit like Andy Sturmer from Jellyfish, churning out solid power pop but not getting the star recognition they probably deserve. Day jobs get in the way, or pay better.
i remember seeing them at one of the late 90s 'Poptopia' shows in Los Angeles, good stuff!!
I was at the Poptopia shows with Jim from above comment - they were one of my favorite LA-based power pop bands to see live during this classic era...always have had a soft spot for them, then - and now.
