The Possibilities


The Possibilities were a rock band from Athens, Georgia formed in 1991. Their sound was described as "psychedelia-tinged alt country" and "country-skronk".

History

Formed in 1991 by Kevin Lane, Bob Spires, and Matt Lane, the band did not release anything other than a self-released cassette until their self-titled 1999 debut album, by which time the line-up had expanded to include Chris Grehan and Jason Gonzalez. The debut album was described by Allmusic as "country-skronk". Prior to this the band had acted as backing for Jack Logan and Todd McBride. The band's sound was described as "psychedelia-tinged alt country", drawing comparisons with Flaming Lips, Apples in Stereo, and Outrageous Cherry.
The indie 'Supergroup' Minus 5 covered a Possibilities song, "You Don't Mean it" on their Let the War Against Music Begin.
The band's second album, Way Out, described by Allmusic as "a pure psych-pop delight", was released in 2002 by Parasol Records, and was their last release.
