Indie pop band One for the Team was founded by Minneapolis music scenester/songwriter Ian Anderson (not to be confused with the frontman of Jethro Tull) in an effort to use material that was unfit for his other band, Aneuretical. One for the Team was rounded out by Bryan Sonday (guitar), Elliot Manthey (drums), Grace Fiddler (keyboard, vocals), John Krueger (bass), and Sam Gerard (synth). The band got to work on its youthful music in spring 2005, resulting in Good Boys Don't Make Noise, released on Anderson's own Afternoon Records in June 2006.
