Not many bands that have played the ~Vans Warped Tour claim the Beatles and the Beach Boys as their musical idols. Sherwood, an indie quintet from San Luis Obispo, CA, fit neatly alongside the pop-punk likes of Yellowcard and other post-Green Day acts, but with an unapologetic power pop side that gives them a distinctly melodic edge.Taking their name from an early band joke about writing a concept album that meshes with the 1973 Disney #Robin Hood cartoon in the way that Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon supposedly meshes with #The Wizard of Oz, Sherwood formed in late 2002 while its members were students at Cal Poly State University.
