Case Study was born late in the year 2003. Andrew Templeman and Justin Vollet, formerly of the Boise band Narcissus Isthmus had relocated to the Portland metropolitan area anticipating the relocation of the other half of the band. A few months passed by and the two became eager to continue making distinctive brand of indie/rock influenced music together. They eventually created a new band with two new members, Randee Cole playing bass and Joe Naylor playing drums. By April of 2004 the group had amassed enough material to form a set and began booking shows at local venues in Portland.
Case Study is currently finishing up the long (in their case very very long) process of completing their first full-length album. Check back for an update on the release date.

Sounds Like: "Case Study is a peculiar example of a band that turns mixed influences into something entirely it's own. The songs from the Portland quartet's forthcoming debut album moans with the bleak yet melodic misery of the Cure's Robert Smith, while analog synthesizer noises bluster and huff over the top-not in a New Wave way, but rather like distant sound effects. Meanwhile, tremolo-soaked guitars create a haze over tussling drums. The result sounds like a blur of Jawbreaker, Interpol, Built to Spill and Neil Young."-Dave Clifford, The Willamette Week March 16, 2005
