History

While Loquat began assembling their first full album, their music gained increasing exposure due to extensive play time on San Francisco radio station Live 105, as well as the song "Swingset Chain" being featured on the CW television series "One Tree Hill" and coming pre-loaded on SanDisk's Sansa media player. The band's debut LP, "It's Yours to Keep", was released in April of 2005 by Jackpine Social Club, and featured ten tracks. The album was met with generally positive reviews, [ [http://www.jivemagazine.com/review.php?rid=1025&rtid=2 Review of "It's Yours to Keep"] . JIVE Magazine, May 11, 2005.
