Although he has contributed to more than a dozen different musical ventures over the last three decades, Robert Pollard is still predominantly known for his vocal and guitar work with indie giants Guided By Voices. In '99 he teamed up with bandmate Doug Gillard to release one of the most underappreciated albums of the genre, Speak Kindly Of Your Volunteer Fire Department, right in the midst of their Do The Collapse world tour. Charming marquee tracks like Pop Zeus exemplify Pollard's prowess for engineering melodic yet to-the-point lo-fi indie masterpieces.
