Evan Bailey (drums, keyboard & vocals), Jeremy Irvin (guitar & vocals; and founder of Landmark Recordings), and Carrie Neumayer (guitar & vocals) are all singers and songwriters, who together create fuzzed-out and ethereal Indie Pop full of harmonies. The three began Second Story Man in 1998 and put out a split EP with The Helgeson Story in 1999 and a four song EP in 2000 called "Weddings, Parties, Sympathy", both on Jeremy Irvin's own Landmark Recordings. The EP featured a new member: singer/ songwriter/ bass player Kelly Scullin, who’d previously played in Litmus and with Neumayer and Bailey in Itch House. In 2001, the two women in the band applied for and won a $3,000 artistic enrichment grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women to record and manufacture an album, Pins And Needles. Kelly Scullin left the band in 2004 and was later replaced by Justin Davis. SSM released an EP "Red Glows Brighter" on Landmark Recordings in April of 2006.
