Looks like someone forgot to do thier homework. Tell the DUDE that his band is named after a Fairly big LA band who has been in all sorts of magazines including Rolling stones. Plus dan that is false advertising since the dude only played 2nd guitar and bill probably wrote all of it.
"Los Angeles-based duo The Meadows don't just have all the right influences (Pete Yorn, Teenage Fanclub Ryan Adams and The Jayhawks) in check on their self-titled debut, they've also got a stunning knack for songcraft. Boasting alternating frontmen Todd Herfindal (ex-Blue Sky Roadster and Single) and Kevin Houlihan (formerly of The Fundamentals and Moontower), the pair join forces to assert -- through this resourceful and immediately charming 12-song cycle -- that they've spent enough time in almost-famous bands. From the heaven-sent, swooning of "Been So Long" to the tender, reflective "Younger Yesterday", The Meadows' take on guitar pop --bolstered by thumbs-up harmonies and ace arrangements -- can be as dazzling ("Turn It Around") as it is exhilarating ("Dreamer"). 4.5 Stars out of 5 -Highly recommended."

It's not false advertising to say that one of Up River's guitarists is an ex-member of Up River, Casey.
