"Too Late For Us Now" by Roger Joseph Manning Jr

Roger Joseph Manning, Jr., is one of the founding members of power pop favorites, Jellyfish. After completing one album with a new band in 1996 (Imperial Drag), he continued his fancy for baroque pop as a solo artist, releasing his first effort in 2006. In Japan, it was called "Solid State Warrior" and in the US it was called "The Land Of Pure Imagination" (there are some minor differences between the two releases).

Fans of Jellyfish will instantly recognize the melodies and style of Manning's solo work, which comes closest to the Jellyfish sound than most other solo work from his fellow Jellyfishers. "Too Late For Us Now" is but one example of his innovative songwriting. If you're in the mood for something slower, check out the sublime "Appleby."
