"I Walked" by Wanderlust

There was a lot of buzz surrounding the Philly power pop band Wanderlust in the mid-90s. With two extremely talented songwriters with knacks for big juicy hooks (Scot Sax and Rob Bonfiglio), Wanderlust seemed poised for a breakthrough.

Of course that didn't happen, despite the popularity of the song "I Walked," the lead single from their 1995 debut record, "Prize." The band wrote material for a second album that did not happen before their breakup in 1997 (that material found its way to release on a double record from 2004 called "Lust And Found.")

Sax went on to a solo career, plus other projects like the amazing band Feel and Bachelor Number One, which landed a song called "Summertime" on the soundtrack to American Pie. Sax also has some impressive co-writing credits for artists like Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. Bonfiglio, who married Carnie Wilson of Wilson Phillips, also embarked on a solo career that included other projects like The Skies of America. 

The band got together for an unexpected reunion that produced a new album in 2012 called "Record Time."
