The Salteens

Vancouver indie pop combo the Salteens were formed in the spring of 1997 by singer/guitarist Scott Walker, bassist/vocalist Megan Bradfield, and drummer Dion Willis. After just two live dates, the group won a local battle of the bands contest, and with the addition of keyboardist Patrick Brealey, the Salteens signed to the local Endearing label to issue their debut LP, Short-Term Memories, in the spring of 2000. Let Go of Your Bad Days followed in 2003. In 2010, the Salteens moved toward '60s-influenced large-ensemble pop with the release of Grey Eyes. ~ Jason Ankeny
