Many luckless people imagine that romance is dead: some, overcivilised, fondly suppose that there never was romance: a poet tells us that romance is unrecognised though really present: but scientists can meet him daily, walking at large and undisguised in the world.

Fondly

Fondly was originally a Chicago-based trio that produced two albums of indie punk in the mid to late 90's. Brian Burkhard, Andy Grzenia, and Dick Simpson were the three original members. They released a self-titled CD - recorded in Brian Deck's basement.. At the time, Brian Deck was a member of the Chicago band, Red Red Meat who later went on to work with bands and artists including Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine, and Califone. The album got great reviews and was named album of the year by James VanOsdal - Host of Q101's local show. The album’s acclaim earned Fondly a recording contract with local label Scratchie Records which was founded by James Iha and D'arcy Wretzky and Adam Schlesinger. Dick Simpson left the band after the release of the first album and was replaced by Tom Shover. They released "F is For" in 1997 - also recorded by Brian Deck.Some tracks were recorded in the famous Idful Studios.
