"Ponce de Leon" by Splitsville

After the demise of the 90s power pop band Greenberry Woods, twin brothers Matt and Brandt Huseman formed a new group called Splitsville. They continued to crank out infectious power pop and earworms that unfortunately attracted very little attention outside of power pop circles.

Splitsville typically plays crunchy rock, but this piano-driven number often has them mistaken for Ben Folds Five. Check out "Ponce de Leon," from their 1997 record, "Ultrasound." 

"Super Geek" by The Greenberry Woods

The Greenberry Woods is a little-known powerpop group formed at the University of Maryland back in the 90s. They released two essential powerpop albums, "Rapple Dapple" in 1994 and "Big Money Item" in 1995.

Maybe they had too many catchy melodies and harmonies for the mid-90s as the world was still punch drunk on grunge, but Greenberry Woods failed to get much traction at the time. They are well-respected in powerpop circles, though, and it is never too late to discover them. "Super Geek," which comes from the second record, is a good primer.

Two twin brothers in the band, Matt and Brandt Huseman, went on to play in another renowned powerpop outfit we will get to later called Splitsville.
