Biography
New Zealand’s The Phoenix Foundation formed in Wellington, New Zealand by founding members Sam Scott, Luke Buda and Conrad Wedde in 1997. They are joined by Will Ricketts (percussion), Tom Callwood (bass) and Chris O’Connor (drums). Their fifth album Fandango[/b will be released on April 29 by Universal in Australasia and Memphis Industries for the rest of the world.
Their first full length album Horsepower was released in mid 2003 to critical acclaim, and was moderately successful. Horsepower included such singles as “This Charming Van” and “Let Me Die A Woman” which received extensive airplay on alternative radio stations such as 95bFM and RDU-FM.
Their second album Pegasus, featuring new bass guitarist Warner Emery, was released in early 2005 and again gathered further plaudits. The album was met with some commercial success, eventually obtaining Gold status in New Zealand.
In late 2006, the Phoenix Foundation were signed by the Young American label, and Horsepower was released in the US on March 13, 2007.
Happy Ending, the bands fourth LP was released in NZ and Australia in late 2007. The singles ‘Bright Grey’, ‘Bleaching Sun’ and ‘40 Years’ all received considerable radio and television airplay in New Zealand.

The NZ Phoenix Foundation formed first, so if it's a matter of "default" bands the title is theirs, but... can't we all just get along? :P

I appreciate that the split Last FM page is annoying for some of you (FYI rand0m_nickname, the 'Silence' lp is indeed the Finnish band). I'm from the NZ TPF and we find it quite annoying too, people are often getting in touch after accidentally buying the Finnish hard core punk wanting to know if we have completely changed our sound etc (i'm it has happened the other way too). But we are in no way going to change our name and I guess we all just have to live with this confusion.
