The Fresh & Only's

The Fresh & Only's are an indie band from the San Francisco Bay Area that formed in 2004. The band started putting songs together with just Tim Cohen (vocals) and Shayde Sartin (bass). The lineup addition includes Wymond Miles (guitar), Kyle Gibson (drums), and Heidi Alexander (backup vocals). Cohen and Sartin found themselves hanging out after work listening to punk and classic rock records and this how the friendship and band all got its start. The duo started recording with a tape machine and found they weren't hearing anything they liked. These two eventually started working with past projects even though they had tons of material recorded. These two are actually very picky about what they release and do all the writing and recording. The final cuts are usually fleshed out in the studio with the other band members. They have released a handful of albums, singles etc. since 2004; this video being "Waterfall" from their 2010 album Play It Strange.

Happy Birthday Mike! I hear this is one of your favorite bands; hopefully I did the band justice and chose a great song. Celebrate!
