Very Truly Yours

In a way, the name says it all -- Chicago's Very Truly Yours make the kind of earnest, sugar-sweet tunes that give rise to comparisons to acts like <a href="spotify:artist:1C4F7PHDaEkp5ZL1rkkmrE">the School</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0cygwaJypZFDlu4NLQTm7b">Allo Darlin'</a>, not to mention influential indie pop groups like <a href="spotify:artist:0Ve1sk7tcGsb7ZVsp4o8GG">the Softies</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1sDWIdL18InXgES9TwvsL2">Heavenly</a>. Frontwoman Kristine Capua (formerly of the Lorimer Sound) teamed up with Lisle Mitnik (guitar), Dan Hyatt (bass), and <a href="spotify:artist:7vERiBhcvHsEuoxFF2OgkE">Andy Rogers</a> (drums) to form Very Truly Yours in the summer of 2008. The group began to garner serious attention from indie pop aficionados only a few months later, when they shared the stage with <a href="spotify:artist:3zmmBJseZelpVEHj8S6Dek">the Pains of Being Pure at Heart</a> for a packed show at Schubas in February 2009. Over the course of the next year, Very Truly Yours made a few compilation disc appearances (including spots on All the Girls I've Ever Loved, via Pop Song Romance, and a WeePOP! compilation, Starting Anew); saw the release of a split EP on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Cloudberry+Records%22">Cloudberry Records</a> (Understudies/Very Truly Yours); and self-released their first EP, Reminders. Their debut full-length, Things You Used to Say, came out on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Skywriting+Records%22">Skywriting Records</a> in the spring of 2010, just a couple months before the band made an appearance at the much-touted New York Popfest. ~ TiVo Staff, Rovi
