Originally known as the Peppernotes, English rock quartet Palladium soon changed their name, and eventually won themselves some rather famous fans such as Amy Winehouse and Mystery Jets. Formed in 2006, the band (Peter, Rufio, Fez, Rocky) were snatched up by major-label Virgin, and scored opening slots supporting the aforementioned Winehouse and the Thrills. In July of 2007, Palladium released their first single, "Happy Hour." Their support for the band the Feeling on that band's March 2008 tour was followed by an April 14 release for Palladium's debut album. ~ Chris True
