The Mayflies USA
The Mayflies USA were a jangly indie rock outfit hailing from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, active in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Known for their melodic, guitar-driven sound and introspective lyrics, they became part of the thriving Merge Records scene alongside bands like Superchunk. Their albums, including *Summertown* (1998) and *Walking in a Straight Line* (2001), blended warm alt-country twang with earnest college-rock energy, earning them a cult following. Tracks like "Cabbagetown" and "Less Lost" showcase their knack for bittersweet hooks and laid-back, storytelling vibes.
The band—featuring Matt Long (guitar/vocals), Matt McMichaels (bass), Adam Price (drums), and later additions like David Wimbish (keys)—called it quits in 2003, but their music remains a cozy time capsule of early-2000s indie charm. Fans still revisit their catalog for its nostalgic blend of Southern rock warmth and understated emotional punch.
