I've read well over a hundred or so articles from the Zwan years. There was never an "indie groundswell" movement that I could find. The album was very mixed when it came to professional reviews. They were touted as a supergroup at some points even before Paz joined. Some reviewers suggest that Billy used Matt and Pajo for their indie cred while others had no idea who they were. Paz hasn't said anything post Zwan about the band/experience that I can find. She was definitely bedding Pajo more than Billy. Billy is/was an egomaniac that most definitely tried to pull a fast one on some musicians that were only ever in it for the free ride.
