Carl (a.k.a. A.C. Newman + leader of The New Pornographers) Newman has been at the power pop thing for a while, years back he was in another Canadian band called Zumpano. Led by drummer Jason Zumpano, the band released two albums, but called in quits in 1996 after the release of Goin' Through Changes when Carl Newman left during the recording of Zumpano's never finished third album for SubPop. In 2000, Carl Newman returned as leader of the New Pornographers, but Jason Zumpano took two years to once again spread his wings with a new band - this time called Sparrow. Sparrow released their most recent album, June 7th on Absolutely Kosher and once more Zumpano shows his love for the 60's pop of The Zombies, The Raspberries, The Kinks, and others.

I own a single and the two Zumpano CD's and didnt think there was much more, in the mid to late 90's I loved the band so much and only erecently found out that the singer was AC Newman. Thank you for the downloads.
