Stopping at 10; who has 15 tracks on an album? Not Niederbachheim.

Niederbachheim are a six-piece group from the Glasgow area (see track 1). At least one member's family comes from a Tamil-speaking region of South Asia (see tracks, 2, 9, 10). They have an interest in German and American placenames (see band name, tracks 4, 6). Billy Sheehan is about a man they once met at a rail station in Carlisle, not the hard rock bassist whom they've never heard of. Niederbachheim like international cricket trivia and random early-19th century American politicians (tracks 3, 5). They have been known to occasionally perform in cricket garb or wear shirts inspired by portraits of U.S. presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Musically they are a bit goofy and all over the place, refusing to establish a particular member as "the guitarist" and so on (they do seem to have a fairly consistent keyboardist and definitely just two alternating lead vocalists, though) and incorporating a variety of instruments into their 3-minute pop songs.
