The Poor Richards are a dynamic duo of indie-rock maestros out to bring classic songwriting back into the game. From the cramped comfort of their tri-state home studios, they conjure up songs that pack years of melody and lyrical acumen into 2-minute morsels of heavenly flavor, spiced with the spirit of pop'�s greatest past masters. R.A and J.A. Richard�s' previous projects have enjoyed critical acclaim in publications such as CMJ, Billboard, Puncture, and Chicago�s Reader, received airplay on major radio stations (Chicago's Q101 and WCBR, Minneapolis/St. Paul'�s The Current 89.3) as well as on college stations across the country, and raised interest from multiple indie and major labels. Their 18-song, 44-minute debut as The Poor Richards is their best work yet, the result of 4 years worth of writing, singing, and playing for nothing but the joy of it. That joy speaks (or rather, sings) for itself. Please sample the songs. If you like what you hear, please buy the CD, but even more importantly, contact the band at thepoorrichards@yahoo.com and let them know. They�'d love to hear from you.
