Alternative rockers Sunset Valley formed in Portland, Oregon in September of 1996; originally a trio comprising frontman Herman Jolly, guitarist Jonathan Drews and bassist Eric Furlong, the group later expanded to a five-piece with the additions of keyboardist Jeff Saltzman and ex-Heatmiser drummer Tony Lash. Their debut LP The New Speed followed in 1998; Boyscout Superhero followed a year later. ~ Jason Ankeny
