Scott’s Garage is a four-piece power pop band from Richmond, VA that has just released their debut self-titled CD. Formed by drummer Scott Baird in early 2007, the band includes bassist John Bollinger, vocalist and guitarist Gary Hankins, and multi-instrumentalist Greg Marrs. Each member is a veteran of the local Richmond music scene. Utilizing a one car garage (yes - that is how they got the name!), the band spent the better part of 2007 writing and recording the 13 tracks heard on their CD. Very much a group effort, the CD was engineered by both Scott and John who also contributed backing vocals (Scott) and keyboards (John). Gary served as chief songwriter and Greg added vocal and instrumental “sweeteners” to the tracks much like a modern day Brian Jones. The CD was mixed with the help of Bill Leverty of Firehouse fame.

Review....
"She Means Everything is the
leadoff track, and it encapsulates the Southern power pop sound: crunchy
guitars, jangle, and more hooks than a meat locker. Girl is another great
rocking track, sounding like The Smithereens had they come from ....South
Carolina.... rather than ....New Jersey.....
Nothing Left to Say reminds me of Girlfriend-era Matthew Sweet, and Some Day
Some Way has a bit of an Eagles "Already Gone" sound. The slower
numbers are excellent as well, with Fading Away and Tell Me Why standing out in
particular.”....
