What would Nirvana have sounded like fronted by Bjork? What would Judas Priest's last album have sounded like if Rob Halford had read "Tuesdays With Morrie" just before going into the studio? How about Ringo Starr produced by Steve Albini?

The Layaways don't sound like any of this. Words that have been tossed around to describe us include understated, dreamy, and blissful -- none of which describe the aforementioned hypothetical scenarios (except maybe the Halford thing). We've also been compared to the Jesus and Mary Chain, Guided By Voices, George Harrison, Rain Parade, and the Radio Dept. We're based in Chicago and we just released our third album, "The Space Between."
