Artist: Jeff: The Brotherhood

During a pivotal scene in American Psycho, Christian Bale's character manically waxed poetic about the music of Huey Lewis & The News , declaring "Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically.

It was that album that propelled the Bay Area-based band into stardom, spawning four Top 10 singles - [...]

Like a poor man's Weezer, who instead of making a wrong turn at Beverly Hills, found themselves down in skid row, JEFF the Brotherhood not only understand the irony of a couple of everymen cranking out rock anthems, they embrace it.

And even more evident once the brothers cranked out "Heavy [...]
