Tune In Saturdays: Matt Pond PA

You know how you know you've made it as a band?

Yep, that's right, you make the soundtrack of the soul crushing FOX show, the OC.  Somehow, that's become the new indie cred.

And, for Matt Pond PA, I imagine that is neither the beginning, nor the end.  I know I probably reference the following bands too much as influences, but what can I say, I like 'em, and I like bands that sound somewhat like 'em, so with that, if you like Death Cab for Cutie or The Shins, you'll probably like this band.

Most songs are layered with the basics plus some strings and keys.  While they never really hit you over the head, it's always a pleasant ride.  Head over to the MySpace site for a taste of their newest record, Several Arrows Later, or check out the video for "So Much Trouble" below.
