The Patty Duke Syndrome

The Patty Duke Syndrome is perhaps the most written-about trio whose only official output amounts to one side of a 7". But there is more. In a 2003 Spin exposé dubbed "Who the Fuck is Ryan Adams?"

It's like, 'Where's that in your music?'" Ask former Patty Duke Syndrome drummer Brian Walsby or perhaps the ghost of Jere McIlwean
