The Mayflies USA arrived on the post-indie-boom mid-90’s Chapel Hill scene as an anomaly, playing tuneful, ragged rock once memorably described in Spin Magazine as “r-o-c-k like they don’t make anymore… dreaming of the Replacements and Pure Prairie League and proud of it.” Their debut album “Summertown” was released in 1999 to widespread acclaim as an instant modern power-pop classic, and they released two other well-regarded albums: 2000’s The Pity List and 2002’s Walking in a Straight Line.
