by Bradley TorreanoThe BosweLLs originally consisted of Greg Holland and Steven Warmack, two songwriters that had become friends in Little Rock, AR. After months of writing, recording, and just hanging out, they suddenly found that the tapes they had sent to music contacts were getting rave reviews. The two musicians decided to record a demo, learning the art of overdubbing and performing all the parts themselves before a weekend in the studio as a duo. The demo was well-received by labels, but they wanted a band to sign, not just the duo. Thus, a hand was extended to bassist Stacy Smith, guitarist Richard LeSound, and drummer Alan McCalman, and 4 Huge Songs! was recorded with the new lineup. Putting together an eponymous EP soon after, the band began to get more attention due to their affiliation with several downloading sites. Eventually, the group had the chance to self-release their first full-length record, Planet Nine, in the summer of 2002.
