Release Date: 2005Label: Mt. Fuji Records
An unsigned power pop band from Los Angeles comprised of lead singer and rhythm guitarist Drew Mottinger, lead guitarist Trevor Sherwood, bassist Jared Anderson, and drummer Todd Ramsey, Wintergreen released their five-song debut, Extended Play, on the tiny indie Mt. Fuji Records to little notice in late 2005. However, several months later, an extremely clever video for the song "When I Wake Up" -- based on the semi-true urban legend that thousands of unsold copies of Atari's flop ET game cartridge were buried in a landfill outside Alamagordo, NM -- appeared on Wintergreen's MySpace page and YouTube. Several hundred thousand viewings later, Wintergreen was a bona fide buzz band, completing their debut full-length with producer Niko Bolas.
