Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their founding in 1986 as a co-ed a cappella rock and pop group from the University of Pennsylvania, the Loafers have appeared over the years on a number of excellent compilations of the best of collegiate a cappella; and on their own CDs, such as 1997's 'Diesel,' 1998's 'Ride!,' 2000's 'On the Floor,' 2002's 'Stealing Time' and 2004's 'Barely Legal.' 'Quicksand' has 14 rich, beautifully-arranged covers; a pair by Snow Patrol, 'Chocolate' and 'Run;' Maya Varthi has a wonderful lead on Aimee Mann's 'Humpty Dumpty,' and there's a pair of hot covers of Kelly Clarkson's 'Because of You' and 'Addicted,' again featuring Varthi. Beck's 'Girl,' Chantal Kreviazuk's 'Time' and Sia's 'Breathe Me' are other favorites. The Loafers have a full, rich, confident sound with some of the best soloists we've heard at the collegiate level. Treat yourself to 'Quicksand' and fall in love with the '05-'06 Penny Loafers!
