The Layaways are a new Chicago band with mixes modern indie pop with 80s and 60s influences -- classic vocal harmonies over new wave eighth-note rhythms. Think of Yo La Tengo covering the Cars. Or the Cure playing an Everly Brothers song.
The band's debut release, More Than Happy, will be released in October, 2003, and has already garnered some strong reviews. The Chicago Sun-Times has said, "...sound isn't punk; it's new wave -- new wave for 2003."
