dbo:abstract
  • The Paley Brothers were an American power pop duo formed in 1976 by brothers Andy and . After releasing one studio album and EP, they disbanded in 1979, although the brothers continued to collaborate on other projects. They are characterized by their more straightforward AM radio pop style which contrasted the ironic or aggressive attitudes projected by other power pop groups of the era. Despite a lack of commercial success, the Paley Brothers achieved an underground cult following through their performances at CBGB while also touring extensively, opening for acts ranging from Shaun Cassidy to the Patti Smith Group. Music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine described them as "perhaps the greatest example of a band that, by nearly every measure, should've been stars." (en)
