   About The Poor Richards
R.A. and J.A. Richard, soul-siblings separated at birth, reunite to create fantastically melodious indie-pop with a focus on classic songwriting. Their self-titled debut Lp, available through CD Baby, iTunes, Napster, et al., has garnered great reviews, U.S. and U.K. radio play, and interest from XTC leader and indie label head Andy Partridge, who affectionately dubbed the group "a scruffy American Kinks" (of course, this thrilling moment was immediately immortalized in the song entitled [what else?] "When Andy Partridge Called"). The Poor Richards' new 5 song EP, "When I Can" is their most consistent and focused work to date, and is sure to be some of the most enchanting music you've heard this (and perhaps any other) year. Have a listen, drop a line, and be friendly!
