Stalemate

Stalemate has been called many different things over their seven year history. "Prog-Pop".... "Power Pop". "Friend Rock" was a phrase that sprang up in early 2009, coined from a disparaging essay by Sufjan Stevens about a genre for microscopc bands whose only fans are the friends they guilt trip into coming to their shows. Orignally, the band wore this branding to focus on it's most salient feature: eclecticism.

Dan Mills

"For me, there’s more to being a musician than just trying to sell a CD,” says Dan Mills of his latest album, Fiction in Photographs; An album which he is not trying to sell at all, but is available as a free download from his website. “I can’t expect to just play and be heard…especially in today’s environment. I try to let everyone in.” Mills understands this more than most, which is why he makes himself readily available to his followers at his shows and through a multitude of social and promotional media.
