The Fresh & Onlys' lineup eventually expanded to include Kyle Gibson, Wymond Miles, and Heidi Alexander; drawing from a hodgepodge of influences (among them Buzzcocks, the Mekons, and Country Joe MacDonald), the new lineup arrived at a grimy-yet-sunny pop sound along the lines of Saturday Looks Good to Me and Welcome.

The Fresh & Onlys started out as a collaboration between prolific frontman Tim Cohen (Black Fiction) and bassist Shayde Sartin, who began putting songs together in 2004. The Fresh & Onlys' lineup eventually expanded to include drummer Kyle Gibson, guitarist Wymond Miles, and Heidi Alexander (who soon left the band). After they self-released the Medicine Island cassette, John Dwyer's Castle Face label put out their self-titled debut album in April of 2009, and a 7" single, "I'll Tell You Everything," on Dirty Knobby Industries followed. The band's second full-length album, Grey-Eyed Girls, was released on Woodsist in the fall of 2009.

The Fresh & Onlys are a garage pop band from San Francisco, California. They have several releases on Castleface, Dirty Knobby Records, and a few more coming, one namely on Woodsist. With their hallucinogenic brand of garage rock and eerie backing vocals, The Fresh and Onlys are reminiscent of San Francisco's earlier Haight & Ashbury ancestors.

The Fresh & Onlys, Ty Segall, Sic Alps, Kelley Stoltz, and the strange world of the Bay Area's noisy rock renaissance. But it's also a complex web of relationships. Shayde Sartin, bassist of the Fresh & Onlys, used to room with Kelley Stoltz. Stoltz is Sonny Smith's drummer. Smith recorded some songs with the Fresh & Only's Tim Cohen, who used to date Heidi Alexander, of the Sandwitches, who booked everyone's bands at Amnesia, a club in the city's Mission district.
