different sounds. "I’m a fan of both poppy melodies and not-so-poppy sounds,When someone hears a Self song, I want them to know we’re into both. Like peanut butter and chocolate - two great tastes that taste great together!" explains Matt Mahaffey the "lead" dude

The actual sound of self itself is a mixture of behind the ever so talented band.

In 1995 their fist release was put out by spongebathrec. Subliminal Plastic Motives , releasing So low and Cannon as there first real singles and making good headway

Leading up to there next album The Half-Baked Serenade also put out by Spongebathrec was another great success, but still didn't catch the eye of enough people.

The newest release Breakfast With girls was put out by not only spongebath but by Dreamworks as well. Winning more public appreciation. Yet again Mahaffey lets out another dazling aray of musical talent. One song (Paint by numbers) was featured on the Dead man on campus sound track.
