Indie Video - Eastern Conference Champions

These guys are not properly indie, but I’d say they do qualify as Indyish: in and out of the system just trying to do their own thing and work with people who support that, and making some lovely videos along the way:

Eastern Conference Champions (also known as ECC) began as the duo of Ostrander and Lyons, after they left their previous band Laguardia following conflicts with Universal Records, their label. The two found themselves working landscaping jobs during the day, and recording together afterwards. Eventually that material became released as The Southhampton Collection-EP . They added bassist Vern Zaborowski, who had recently parted ways with CKY, to complete the trio. The EP was eventually released on Retone Records in March 2006. The president of Geffen records responded very favorably to the these recordings, and the band was signed to a new Branch of the Universal Music Group.

The band is currently signed to Suretone Records (a sub-label of Geffen Records). They worked with British producer Owen Morris, on recording their first full-length album Ameritown, which was released on July 17th, 2007.
