Biography

Over the last ten years, Fueled By Ramen has brought the world some of the decade’s most exciting and imaginative young rock ‘n’ roll outfits, from Fall Out Boy and The Academy Is… to Paramore and Panic At the Disco. Now the label has done it again. Meet Powerspace, your next favorite new band.

The Illinois-based combo’s full length debut, “The Kicks of Passion” (released 31 July 2007), sees Powerspace unleashing its own inimitable sound, a brightly colored mash-up of pure power pop and electronica-inspired invention. Tracks such as “Powerspace Snap Bracelet” and “Right On, Right Now” literally snap and crackle with the just-out-of-their-teens quartet’s uncontainable charm and energy.

The Powerspace team came together back in 2005 at Ohio’s Miami University. Guitarist Tom Schleiter and bassist Daniel McMahon, both of whom played in bands in their native burbs of Chicago, had long discussed making music together. A year older, Schleiter spent his freshman term at Miami working with drummer Kevin Kane in a local band, an experience the guitarist describes as “unsatisfying.” He spent the next summer focusing on writing songs for an as-yet-undetermined new band. When he told McMahon what he’d been up to, the bassist suggested the two form a new combo upon Dan’s arrival at school in the fall.
