"Grandaddy was an American indie rock band, formed in 1992 in Modesto, California by singer, guitarist, and keyboardist Jason Lytle, bassist Kevin Garcia, and drummer Aaron Burtch. Guitarist Jim Fairchild and keyboardist Tim Dryden later joined the band in 1995. After several self-released records and cassettes the band signed to Will Records in the US and later the V2 subsidiary Big Cat Records in the UK, going on to sign an exclusive deal with V2. The band released several albums before splitting in 2006, with band members going on to solo careers and other projects. The bulk of the band's recorded output was the work of Lytle, who worked primarily in home studios" Unhappy with the efforts of Will Records, the band signed a worldwide deal with Richard Branson's V2 Records in 1999, their first release on the label being the Signal to Snow Ratio EP in September that year. In May 2000, they released their second album, The Sophtware Slump, to critical acclaim, with popular British music magazine NME later placing it number 34 in their "Top 100 Greatest Albums of the Decade" list, and The Independent describing it as "easily the equal of OK Computer".The album reached number 36 on the UK Albums Chart, and the band's fanbase increased, including celebrities such as David Bowie, Kate Moss, and Liv Tyler. By early 2001 the album had sold 80,000 copies worldwide. "The Crystal Lake", although not a hit when released as the first single from the album, gave the band their first UK top 40 single when reissued in 2001."- Wikipedia
