Featuring members of The Lord Calverts and The Doppel Gang, their 2024 debut album Pleased to Meet You (Wicked Cool Records) channels the spirit of Fountains of Wayne, XTC, and Badfinger. With tight harmonies, witty lyrics, and a sound that’s both classic and fresh, they’re quickly becoming a new favorite on Little Steven’s Underground Garage.

The JellybricksHailing from Pennsylvania, The Jellybricks deliver smart, hook-laden rock with a timeless power pop punch. Their latest album, Dreaming in Stereo, (Wicked Cool Records) highlights the band’s knack for harmony-rich melodies and sharp, melodic songwriting. A favorite on Little Steven’s Underground Garage, The Jellybricks continue to turn heads with their energetic live shows and classic-meets-modern sound.

In 2003, after the success of “Little Steven's Underground Garage,” the newly launched Sirius Satellite Radio recruited Steven to create it's FIRST original content. He would start the service's first 24/7 branded music channels, while also continuing to record his syndicated terrestrial show. One channel was “The Underground Garage.” Stylistically the format is a continuation of the syndicated terrestrial show. While radio was turning towards computer generated playlists, Steven would go in the complete opposite direction and hire Rock and Roll personalities from various backgrounds as DJ's to add their own stories and anecdotes to the music.
