"Sumner Duo’s Star On The Rise" - Tacoma News Tribune 4/08/05 - The Cloves, a Sumner-bred rock band, are generating a buzz from their own back yard and up into Seattle. Childhood friends Michael Hochstatter and Kevin Poleskie formed the Sumner-bred band, which plays a melodic brand of rock that stylistically falls somewhere between the ’60s band the Byrds and the late Elliott Smith. That sound, built around the founding duo’s sweet vocal harmonizing, earned the Cloves – also guitarist Chris Walbridge and drummer Jason Maybell – two dates at The Showbox nightclub in Seattle, one as an opening act last fall and the most recent as a headliner in January.
