Since 2001, The Envy Corps have been quietly storing their energy and preparing for what is to come. They have been constantly playing shows, writing and rewriting new material, committing and recommitting it to tape, and slowly but surely solidifying their line-up. Along the way, they’ve garnered the affection of the attentive in the mid-west, as well as many die-hard fans both nationally and internationally.
Their debut album, “Soviet Reunion,” was released in 2004 to wide local and national acclaim, climbing up to …63 nationwide on the CMJ TOP 200 chart and drawing complimentary comparisons to Radiohead, Coldplay, and Switchfoot. Black & White Magazine called them “the most promising band of 2004” and “Soviet Reunion” found its way onto numerous “Best of 2004” lists. Following an east coast tour to support its release, the album is still in rotation on more than 250 radio stations nationwide.
“Soviet Reunion” was the brainchild of founding member and songwriter Luke Pettipoole, who spent over a year with David Yoshimura (bass) in the studio producing and engineering the entire product on their own. Soon thereafter, Scott Yoshimura (drums) was added to the line-up, making way for one final and crucial adjustment. Brandon Darner (formerly of To My Surprise on Roadrunner Records) heard the band’s live show, and quickly joined up, rounding out an already musically diverse cast of characters.

They've been amazing this tour with Eisley. His voice is slightly Thom Yorke meets Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
