Disciples of '60s "canyon rock," Maplewood came together with the intent to relive the sounds of America, the Byrds, and the Flying Burrito Brothers, 30 years after the fact. Comprised of co-vocalists and guitarists Mark Rozzo (of Champale) and Steve Koester (formerly of Punchdrunk), guitarist Craig Schoen, bassist Jude Webre, and Nada Surf drummer Ira Elliot, the band released its eponymous debut through New York's Tee Pee Records in 2004. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
