Pershing

SSLYBY is a quartet from Springfield, MO. The earnest pop band self released their debut "Broom" to a handful of stores in their hometown. They sent out a few MP3s to the blogosphere and created a tape club with newly recorded songs, and toured a bunch. In the end, they moved approximately 1500 records at shows.

"Broom" is a gem, it sparkles when it rocks, has hooks galore and should make a lasting impression once its left your player. Need a musical reference point? Think the Shins, Elliott Smith, Pavement, of Montreal. The few folks that have got their hands on the disc became instant fans. In comes a slew of kind words. Spin Magazine says "Could someday succeed the Shins as the next indie pop band that emo earnest kids insist will change your life", while the SF Weekly declares, "One of those rare albums where every song is crafted, delicious, and essential."

Tack on the obligatory "OC California" play for their track "Oregon Girl" (which coincidentally framed a scene in which Seth has a girlfriend from Oregon) and a just announced union with Champaign, IL Polyvinyl Records- the future has never sounded so sweet.

In the spring of 2008 they will release their second album "pershing".
