乐队名字来源

ReleaseDate（发行日期）:2008.09.16
Label（厂牌）:FrenchkissRecords
Styles（风格）:BigBeat/Pop/Rock/Soul
据说passionpit的一夜成名，是建立在网络的高效率传递信息基础上的：michael在四个兄弟的合作下写给女友的作为情人节礼物的歌，一传十十传百，先是在校园FTP上下载量节节攀升，最后引得哈佛，MIT周边名校的人也闻风而至，为他们捧场。之后，那几首写给女友的歌便收录在《ChunkOfChange》里。
PassionPit组合发行的EP“ChunkOfChange”是人民群众喜闻乐见的音乐。充满了阳光向上之情，表达了人民生活美满的喜悦之情，没有牛奶没有股票。MV做得很不错，音乐更不用说了。
这张EP发行后好评如潮，甚至乐队被称为是下一个MGMT。
