Seymore Saves the World

From Minneapolis
From last.fm:
Minneapolis-based indie power-pop band Seymore Saves the World is made up of pianist and lead vocalist Scott Hefte (Superdanger), bassist Shawn Neary (Ex-Tapes 'N Tapes), and drummer Nate Perbix. The band writes about the position of outcast teenager and nerd. Pitchfork describes the band's sound as "borrow{ing} a great deal from similarly wry piano-based 1990s pop artists such as the New Radicals or Fastball. However, no influence more blatantly shows through these twelve songs than Ben Folds." Seymore Saves the World on Last.fm.
