Saving the world...one album at a time.

Yeah, yeah... late to the party, not jumpin'on the bandwagon, etc. I have to be honest and admit it took me a while to really get into Seymore Saves the World. I can't really pinpoint why I didn't like them prior to the release of the new CD, but for some reason I just wasn't interested. One night, I was listening to local radio station 89.3 The Current. There was this nerdy, poppy, upbeat song that spoke to me. As often happens when listening to 89.3, I ran to my computer to see what was being played. Son of a gun! Seymore Saves the World!

The song that was playing, "Love Song," comes from their new self-titled album. I feel like I'm listening to young teenagers in their basement. They wanna record, they're gonna record, but it's just for them. Maybe no one will hear it, but that's ok. It's all for fun and self-gratification. There aren't too many bands that lead me to that conclusion, but Seymore's gentle, geeky lyrics just put me in that "awwww" mood. I'd actually seen them perform live at the Minneapolis Take Cover event at the Varsity in February, but didn't really get a great vibe from them. Now I find myself really excited to see them on 7/7/07 when they open for Zibra Zibra and Har Mar Superstar at First Avenue. It promises to be a very solid, danceable show. So start preparing your self with this little ditty.
