If The Little Engine That Could was in a punk rock band, he would be in Patent Pending. Prior to attracting the attention of any record label, Patent Pending played hundreds of shows across the country, sold thousands of CDs & DVDs and amassed enough friends on Myspace to fill a small state. Recently the band has found a warm and loving home in We Put Out Records. With their first label release, “Save Each Other, The Whales Are Doing Fine”, will the little engine finally get some rest? Not until the entire world has witnessed the rock and roll party power of Patent Pending.

The group is known for its outlandish live show, turning the most obstinate and stand-offish of crowds into instant believers and dance contest champions. Operating on a “no show too big, no show too small principal”, the band can be found playing anywhere from the smallest of basements and coffee houses, to the Van's Warped Tour, opening up for Taking Back Sunday and Brand New and live, in studio, on Fuse TV’s Daily Download. The band was voted by fans all over the world through Purevolume.com to play the first annual The Bamboozle Festival in NJ.

Later in the year, the band recorded their We Put Out Records debut. "We wanted people to put this CD on in their living room and have the urge to suddenly bust a move so the party continues long after the kids leave our show. That's exactly what kind of feel this record has."
