Scott Miller was an American singer-songwriter from Sacramento, California, who began his recording career in the early 1980s, leading the bands Game Theory and later The Loud Family within the power pop and college rock scenes. His work combined concise pop songcraft with complex arrangements and literate lyrics, evolving from jangly, guitar-driven college rock to more expansive, experimental power-pop arrangements that contributed to the development of the American college rock and indie pop underground.
