 Presidents of the United States of America: Love Everybody | NBrid
The Presidents of the United States of America (Chris Ballow, Dave Dederer, and Jason Finn; hence forth known simply as 'PUSA') belong to this later group of bands.
Presidents USA burst onto the scene in 1995 with the mega-hit "Lump" (the album was originally released in 1994 on an indie label and re-released by Columbia), and followed that with "Kitty" and then of course "Peaches" (which has one of the best videos EVER!).
Plus even though their name is the Presidents, you won't find any of that self-righteous political BS that so many albums in recent months have been filled with.

And that's where Seattle's Presidents of the United States of America (singer/bassitarist Chris Ballew, guitarist Dave Dederer, and drummer Jason Finn) positioned themselves three years ago, when their quirky homonymous debut was released on a tiny indie label called PopLlama.
They were the band to see that year at Austin's annual South by Southwest music conference, and the hype translated into a deal with Columbia, who re-released The Presidents of the United States of America, scored three Top 40 hits with it, and went on to sell four million copies.
Like the Presidents of the United Sates of America, irony couldn't save the Buggles from becoming unwitting victims of their own success and the fact that, except where Weird Al Yankovich is concerned, novelties have an inherently short shelf life.

Or, in the case of the modest joke band the Presidents of the United States of America, it could just be a new way to string a guitar.
Occasionally the album was spiced up with touches of Chili Pepper funk, but it was best defined by "We're Not Going To Make It," a rousing punk chant that enumerated the trio's shortcomings with cheery candor ("There's a million better bands/With a million better songs").
The cleverly titled The Presidents of the United States of America II (Columbia, due in stores November 5 -- Election Day, natch) answers that question by dodging it.

To wit: a million rock critics' lazy political puns praising the endearingly unpretentious return of that quirky Seattle band, The Presidents of the United States of America.
For all the Presidents' success in conjuring up the Ben Fold Five fuzz and Dead Milkmen whimsy of records past, the best track here sounds the least like their previous work.
When the inevitable electric guitars kick in for a blissful, slightly off-key coda, one thing becomes clear: Whether or not they ever record another "Lump", The Presidents of the United States of America should never be misunderestimated.

Grasping the essence of pop singledom, the Presidents make their songs chewy, stupid, disposable, diverse and imaginative.
Like the winsome "little bag o'bones" loved and hated in the leadoff "Kitty," The Presidents of the United States of America is instantly ingratiating and massively irritating, the kind of record you love for a week and then trade in for one you can actually live with.
A mixture of the Spin Doctors' grub funk and They Might Be Giants' dada whimsicality stripped down and rushed along as simply as possible, the album is full of catchy tunes and smart, loopy nonsense (sprinkled with such surprises as the John Lennon paraphrase that ends "Feather Pluckn") perfect for rowdy singalongs.

This one is my favorite song on the album, partly because the beginning shows them messing up the first time, and then starting over.
First of all, this album was released two years after Beck broke big with "Loser," which was featured on his major-label debut "Mellow Gold." Chris Ballew (of the Presidents) was the touring bassist for the tour supporting Mellow Gold, and was part of Beck's band for Lollapalooza.
This album was comic relief during a period when music was all about being miserable.

The newly-reunited PUSA has been in the studio cooking up a new album, a new platform, as it were, for playfulness in rock, featuring 14 songs including the already hit single "Some Postman".
For their new album "Love Everybody", the band recorded basic tracks at Egg Studios with Conrad Uno (Posies, Supersuckers, Young Fresh Fellows, et al.) and at Jupiter Studios with Martin Feveyear (Mudhoney, Mark Lanegan).
The band was offered several record deals, all of which they decided to walk away from in order to have more control over their music and careers, and to keep it all local.

As if that weren’t enough, the second Presidents album simply titled II spawned another top ten hit, Mach 5, and the band contributed a rocking cover of Video Killed the Radio Star to the platinum-selling soundtrack to Adam Sandler’s ‘The Wedding Singer’.
