Anderson said the record is shaping up to be “about self-exploration and the universal acceptance of the human condition.” “No More Sadface” is the precursor to “Young Goodman Brown: A Book of Short Stories,” the band’s debut full-length angled for a late-2007 release that includes the titular reference to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s coming-of-Īge story. “Everything clicked, and we knew it was right.” “Talking to him about music was like talking to your soul mate,” Anderson said. While poised to sign with Epic Records, they got a call from A&R maestro Craig Aaronson at Reprise that changed their minds. Soon the band was playing packed rooms across Colorado. Modern rock station KTCL/93.3-FM, hungry for another Fray-styled success story, added the single to its rotation that September.

They recorded the first Single File EP, “As You Were,” and, joined by Depew, toured the EP for a month in winter of ’04.

Or it could start a few years later when Ginsberg, now 24, joined the clan and they made up a Standley Lake High School-based swing-jazz outfit. Single File’s story could start at Mandalay Middle School in the mid-1990s, when Anderson and Depew, now 26, met and formed a band.
“We’ve always been the underdog in everything we’ve done, and it makes us really appreciate everything we’ve got.” “Everything we’ve done has been done the exact opposite of how you’re supposed to do it,” Anderson said.
