Chicago New-Wavers Mean Business

Scratchie/New Line to release first Office full-length

After five years spent building underground popularity, Chicago mod-rockers and ASCAP members Office finally caught the ear of Scratchie co-owner and Fountains of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger as well as the heads of parent company New Line Records in the summer of 2006. Their much-anticipated debut record, A Night at the Ritz, is a stylish mixture of synth pop fan-favorites that have been floating around on demo EPs and new material recorded over the winter since the band signed the deal in November.
