While there have been many bands with the name Vroom, the songs on Last.fm under the name of Vroom are connected to a now defunct indie band based out of Lynchburg, Virginia. Their official site is http://www.vroomrock.com. Vroom (originally comprised of members John Johnson, Tim Seay, Jim Kellaris and Nate Foutz) released three albums and an EP during their tenure as a band between the late 90's and 2004. Their first album (Things Not to Do) was recorded while the band members were in high school. The album's melodic pop-punk style was well received at the time and won the band a following throughout the Mid-Atlantic region of the US, but also found fans as far away as the West coast. It was also during this time that original bassist Jim Kellaris left the band to pursue other interests. For shows after Jim left, Jason Garner filled in on bass. The band's follow-up album, "...Throws Like a Girl" was recorded in Nashville, TN in late 1998 by John Painter (of Fleming and John fame). Painter played bass on the album in the absence of a permanent bass player. The album was released in 1999 while the band was in college. It was by far their most successful effort at that time, and remains their most popular work to date. Backed by frequent touring (during which Ron Babbington became the permanent bass player), the band expanded and solidified their following from Boston to Miami. With some tracks earning radio play, Vroom created quite a buzz around the indie scene well into 20
