Hudson River School is a rock/ indie/ pop group based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. They were featured on the Amped 2 video game soundtrack. The band was formed in 2000 by Spencer Jacobs and Steve Babcock. The two recruited Bobby Brinton and then Andy Patterson. The four have released a full length album entitled "Scenes from a Vinyl Recliner" as well as numerous demos and singles. The boys published their new album "Rise and Fall" in 2008 and played their last show shortly thereafter. They have played with bands like Jimmy Eat World, The Used, and My Chemical Romance. Back in 2005 the Jonas Brothers even tried to buy the rights to their hit song "Useless." Read more on Last.fm.
