Way back in the late '90s, when Napster and Y2K were in fashion, a merry band of metalheads united in conquest of fame and fortune-or maybe just fun. They called themselves Pomeroy (not to be confused with the consulting group or college-basketball ratings) and developed a slick sound incorporating funk, hip-hop and rock influences. They moved from Manhattan to Lawrence and then to Omaha building a grassroots following that dotted the plains. A connection with Armed Forces Entertainment sent them in a different direction: The Middle East, where they funked up U.S. military bases. Then the five-piece group went back to the proverbial drawing board and cooked up "A New Reflection." The album marks a new chapter in the Pomeroy scrapbook-one that guitarist Matt Marron and singer David Fairbanks divulged in our half-hour podcast with the band.
