Fountains of Wayne
Sky full of Holes.

Excellent. The band is correct!

Not the record however. Further hint: the woman in the picture was married to Rod Stewart . . .

No idea. Pop music from this century? That’s mostly off my radar.

Ive never seen The Sopranos, but I think that’s the main character in the first picture. “Mob”, “Gangster”?

It is Tony Soprano, and he is the mob boss of New Jersey in the show, and per @mancity2012_eamo ’s correct guess, is pictured at an outdoor fixture store called Fountains of Wayne in Wayne, New Jersey — the very store the band named themselves after.

So which record is implied by the second clue?

I’ve just read a guardian piece from 2016 about these and am now really looking forward to giving them a listen

I know. Rachel Hunter.
I first thought, has she a kid called Stacy.
Then I saw a song called; SomeoneyGoing to Break your heart and well…
She supposedly broke Rods.

She was in a video for a song called Stacey’s Mom by them

It’s
Welcome Interstate Managers
Isn’t it?

Just copped that.
Their most famous song, probably.
That’s why I was looking up her kids’s names.

Never heard anything by this band.
First impressions The Cars and Weezer Buddy Holly song.

I think they intentionally wanted to sound like The Cars.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Fountains of Wayne ?!
obviously know Stacey’s Mum - nothing else.
surely a Weezer, teenage dirtbag type of band.
interesting …

what album is it ?
