The Pernice Brothers are an indie pop/rock band that melds the sweet melodiousness of power-pop with a poignant lyrical sensibility. Formed in the late '90s in Massachusetts, the band is essentially a vehicle for singer-songwriter Joe Pernice, who prior to this act, was known for his work with the alt-country band Scud Mountain Boys. Following the disbanding of Scud Mountain Boys, Pernice embarked on a more melodic, less twangy musical path, showcasing his ability to craft finely woven pop songs that often juxtapose sunny tunes with themes of melancholy and heartache.

Pernice Brothers released their debut album "Overcome by Happiness" in 1998, which quickly garnered critical acclaim for its lush arrangements and pop craftsmanship. The lineup of the band has seen various changes over the years, with Joe Pernice being the constant member, often joined by his brother Bob Pernice, as well as a rotating cast of musicians contributing to the group's rich, layered sound. Their music has enjoyed a dedicated following among pop aficionados, noted for its eloquent lyricism and Joe's gentle vocal style. Albums like "Discover A Lovelier You" and "Live A Little" epitomize the band's trademark sound, while recent releases such as "Spread the Feeling" and "Goodbye, Killer" continue to deliver the heartfelt and melodically engaging music that fans have come to expect from the Pernice Brothers.
