Single File
Single File is a band from Westminster, Colorado. After achieving local success, the band was signed to Reprise Records in 2006.
The group started out originally as a swing jazz trio when its members were in high school, though members Sloan Anderson and Chris Depew had been playing together since middle school. Their first EP, As You Were was self-released in 2003, followed by two further EPs, Heartbreak and Masturbation (2004) and My Best Defense (2005). After that they promoted several national tours in 2005 and 2006, including touring with the Vans Warped Tour as well as scoring regular airplay on Denver radio station KTCL with the song "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" (named after the video game), which became a local hit. Single File were also named one of MySpace's Top 10 Unsigned Bands in 2006.
In early 2006 Single File recorded their debut full-length, which was tentatively titled Benson Shady Grove, with producer Ed Rose (who has worked with such bands as Motion City Soundtrack, The Get Up Kids, Senses Fail, Emery, Reggie and the Full Effect, The Spill Canvas, and The New Amsterdams). However, instead of releasing the full-length, the band put the project on hiatus and continued touring. In July 2007, they released an iTunes-exclusive EP, No More Sadface, on Reprise Records instead, which hit #43 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Upon releasing the EP, the group opened for The Fray on several tour dates in America. Following this, the group opened for Saves the Day on their US tour.
Their debut full-length has been retitled Common Struggles (former titles include Young Goodman Brown: A Book of Short Stories and Benson Shady Grove), is to be produced by Howard Benson, and was slated for release on Reprise in 2008. The album's release date was later changed to April 7, 2009. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
