If the phrase "male a cappella group" conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses. think again. STRAIGHT NO CHASER, are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. They are reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape.

In 1999, the graduating members of Straight No Chaser chose their replacements, ensuring that the new tradition they had created would continue on with successive generations of IU undergrads. Then, in 2006, the unexpected happened - Indiana University decided to host a reunion concert for the original members. In honor of the event, Stine posted footage from one of their 1998 concerts online and to the group's surprise, their version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" - interpolating Toto's "Africa" - became the hottest viral video of the holiday season.

Three full-length albums and one EP have since followed, cumulatively selling more than half a million copies. The group has been featured on ABC World News Tonight, HLN, and Today, among others. Straight No Chaser's third and most recent album, "With A Twist," marked the group's highest chart debut to date, entering the Billboard 200 at #29 upon its April 2010 release. The group celebrated the success of "With A Twist" with a memorable appearance on NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," where they performed an homage to ABC's famed "TGIF" line-up.
