Pound (later Flywheel) was an American rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York.
History
Four of the members of Pound were in a New York glam metal band in the early 1990s. Later in the decade, they went on to be signed with EMI Music Publishing working closely with then EMI V.P. Evan Lamberg. Shortly after recording what was to be their first self-titled release they parted ways with original singer Corey Ray DiGiovanni and changed stylistically. In 1999, they signed with Island Records and released their debut album, Same Old Life, produced by Tom Lord-Alge. The album's lead single, "Upside Down", which was co-written by original lead singer Corey Ray DiGiovanni, was a rock radio hit in America, reaching No. 16 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart that year.[1] The group left Island in 2000 and reconstituted itself as Flywheel; its first album under the new name was released in 2003. A follow-up release, also self-titled, appeared in 2005.
