power pop
Zumpano was a Canadian power pop group in the 1990s. The band, whose music style resembled such contemporaries as Sloan and The Super Friendz, consisted of vocalist/guitarist Carl Newman, keyboardist Michael Ledwidge, bassist Stefan Niemann, and drummer Jason Zumpano. The band formed in 1992 after Zumpano and Ledwidge dissolved their band Glee, which they felt was "artistically impure" despite beginning to enjoy some success. Newman joined the band while still a member of Superconductor. The band signed to Sub Pop Records in 1994, along with fellow Canadians Eric's Trip, Jale, and The Source: Wikipedia, CC BY-SA
