American pop-punk and alternative rock band best known for their Grammy-nominated hit "Hey There Delilah".Formed in Lombard, Illinois, in 1997 by high school friends Tom Higgenson (vocals) and Ken Fletcher (drums). Gained mainstream success in 2006-2007 with "Hey There Delilah" from their album "Every Second Counts". The band has released multiple albums, toured extensively, and maintained a significant fanbase primarily within the pop-punk and alternative rock scenes.

• "Hey There Delilah" was inspired by Olympic runner Delilah DiCrescenzo. Higgenson wrote it after meeting her once, crafting a fictional longing narrative. The song earned two Grammy nominations (Song of the Year, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group).
• Actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson became unexpected advocates for the song after Wilson heard it. Hanks reportedly called radio stations requesting they play it, helping boost its popularity before major radio picked it up.
• The band experienced a significant lineup change in 2005 when original drummer Ken Fletcher left. He was replaced by De'Mar Hamilton, who has remained the drummer since.
• Despite lineup changes over the years, founding member Tom Higgenson has remained the constant frontman and primary songwriter throughout the band's entire career.
• In 2018, the band announced an indefinite hiatus after touring their album "Parallel Universe". They returned to active status and released new music starting in 2020.
