Described by music fans as "early R.E.M. meets early Beach Boys at a Queen concert" and "pop vocal band America meets the Ramones," Poppermost is an indie pop / rock music creation based in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Originally an acoustic pop duo, Poppermost is now the original music division for TriPops Productions, a combination of Oliver's Suicide Pop Records and Publishing, and Trimordial Studio Las Vegas which is owned by the other half of Poppermost, Roy Rendahl.

Starting out as a duo on July 4, 2001, singer / songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alex Oliver joined forces with bassist and audio / graphics guru Roy Rendahl and freed themselves from a budding garage cover band in order to write and perform original music. During the next 5 years, their expanded versions of the band turned in blistering live performances. They have released 3 other full-length CDs (the mellow acoustic self-titled debut, the daredevil power pop of Absolutely Sonic, and the shimmering retro pop / rock of Bitter Suite Swan Songs) plus numerous CD singles and extended-plays, which quickly became "must-haves" for flocks of indie pop music lovers all over the world.

Even after officially saying goodbye to live performances, they continue to earn airplay globally on commercial and Internet radio, as well as earning great reviews from the press and supporters. "First and foremost, we believe in writing and creating music that people will enjoy and remember. In our case, we don't feel we need a typical band situation to accomplish what we need to do." In addition to writing and producing their own original material, Oliver and Rendahl have branched out to assist indie musicians world-wide in arranging and recording their own music. Thus, TriPops was born.

Our influences include: The Beatles, R.E.M., Oasis, Queen, David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust era), Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, Santana, Bruce Springsteen, and The Who. Some people have said that we sound like: R.E.M., Wilco, Elvis Costello, Oasis, Jet, The Beatles, Beach Boys, Queen, and classic '60s / '70s pop rock radio.

The Poppermost name originates from the early Beatles' inspirational call and response, "Where are we going lads?... To the toppermost of the poppermost!"
