Music ID help!

I used to listen to a couple of CDs all the time, and I don't know how but I've forgotten the band name and practically all details of the albums. Now I really want to hear the songs again... help!
These details are very vague and maybe wrong... So the band was MAYBE called something like "Last Bohemians" or "Teenage somethings", something sounding kind of suburban rebelly?
A bit of a Vampire Weekend sound but with a Californian vibe. Whenever I try to remember a song I hear REM's "All the Way to Reno" instead... I had a couple of albums. One of them had white, yellow and black artwork. They weren't one hit wonders but didn't make it really big as far as I know.
And.... that's it. Good luck!

The New Radicals? They only had one album, but the artwork for that one had the color scheme you describe.

Response by poster: Neither of those, thanks though.
Some more details coming back to me - the first album had a photographic cover, the band members standing outside, in front of a sign I think. The second was illustrative.
There's definitely something geographic in the name or one of the songs, like about leaving a town, or a name of a place like San Quentin or San Bernardino etc... argh

Best answer: I wonder if you're thinking about The Thrills - first album So Much for the City, full of tracks about California, second album Let's Bottle Bohemia, third album Teenager.

No specific band comes to mind but if you can recall some lyric snippets, Google might help. Put the lyrics in quotes and see what what happens! I've had pretty good success with even very obscure songs.
