Rock guitarist/singer Dan Sheehan first gained regional prominence in the Northeast via the traditional route of playing the region's famed venues with underground Boston avatars Banter, whose SIDE ONE EP garnered the group its first airplay on the college airwaves followed by TV placements of the critically acclaimed single, "Springtime in February." By Banter's 2002 release, URBAN PASTURES, Sheehan and co. were getting commercial airplay and harnessing the power of the web with frequent chart placements on mp3.com and Soundclick as well as France's Vitaminic.fr and regular band features on Zebox.com and in mags THE NOISE and METRONOME. Despite Banter's indefinite hiatus since 2004 Sheehan has kept himself busy back in his hometown of New York, working on a solo album featuring Morrissey drummer Spencer Cobrin and production work by ex-Toadie Darrel Herbert. Although yet unreleased, several of the songs have already charted across genres as rough mixes on Soundclic.com
