Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (SSLYBY) have joined the running for easiest, most promotable band name, right alongside Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, and of course the infamous Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. To celebrate, SSLYBY are set to tour Europe in September, supporting their sophomore album, Pershing (released in April on Polyvinyl Records). These guys sure like to keep themselves busy. The four-piece from Springfield, MO has been touring the U.S. all summer, and they're taking only a six-week break (with a couple shows here and there) before heading back out on the road.
Pershing has garnered lots of props, and I guess the album is pretty damned good if you're into that sort of catchy, harmonious power-pop thing. I am, so I hail "Glue Girls" as one of the catchiest songs of the year. Yeah, I said it.
