High school buddies Chris Brady and Charlie Campbell resettled from their hometown of Juneau, AK, to Portland, OR, in 1989. Two years afterwards, they recruited drummer Dave Triebwasser (ex-Thrillhammer) and formed Pond. They were quickly signed to Sub Pop, and their eponymic 1993 debut album gibe nicely into the Pacific Northwest grime move that was bossy popular music. But with their short hair and earnest songs, Pond ne'er quite fit into the grease scene and they struggled to win notoriety away of Portland and Seattle, where they had in fact become quite popular. Their second Sub Pop record album, 1995's The Practice of Joy Before Death, brought a darker sound, just non a wider audience. Despite their modified winnow base, decisive acclaim was building, and finally Pond would become one of many gumptious bands to sign to a major tag. That label was Sony's WORK Group, and Pond's fantastic major debut Rock Collection appeared in 1997 to often critical praise only a collective yawn from consumers. Their single, "Spokes," did non garner coherent wireless play outside of the Northwest, and Rock Collection disappeared from the commercial microwave radar before long afterwards its tone ending. Pond parted ways with Sony in early 1998 and was rumored to be working on a unexampled album. But by late 1998, Pond's members had touched on to different interests, devising a modern Pond album unlikely to happen in the succeeding.
