Bassist Sean Neary has moved on and regrouped following his departure from Minnesota’s Tapes ‘N Tapes, returning to the blogs with Seymore Saves The World, another MN-based trio that sounds absolutely nothing like his last band. Digging this more than T’nT, too; Seymore Saves is two parts Ben Folds with a splash of Mates Of State, pumping out effervescent keyboard trio pop that’s rockin’ the burbs (figuratively; the band’s booked a Midwest-Northeast tour, coming to a city near you). Here’s the self-titled record’s first single.
Seymore Saves The World is out 4/10 on Royalty, Etc. Tour dates after the jump.

Seymore saved my world!
nice work boys. the release show was phenomenal, and the recording is really warm and analog-y… as it should be. word.
I love this track – gotta get my hands on the album!
Seymore is the sprinkles on the cupcake that is my life.
Lovin it!
This is great– I love it!!
Beautiful, boys! by beautiful boys
this is HORRIBLE. are you kidding me?
Give me more Seymore!!!!
Great catchy pop songs. Always a treat live.
Sean was right to leave those sell outs
Well, 14 out of 15 stellar reports ain’t half bad….I’m really liking this stuff!
This is a swell song but do yourself a favor, check Seymore live or better still BUY THIS CD! Not a dud in the bunch. Well done fellows.
Spectacular song! Catchy to no end. T’n't Ain’t got nothing on seymore, way to go guys!
Wow! I definitely loved the song. I will have to catch a concert soon
First stumbled upon these guys at the 400 Bar over a year ago. I was instantly hooked by their brand of Ben Folds-esque pop. Totally sincere and always great live, their album is solid from start to finish. I was worried they’d leave out my favorites, but they are all there — especially “Summer 2005.” Awesome.
I liked it! Upbeat, but not in an annoying way. I like the lyrics too.
This is complete BS – laaame.
This is complete BS – laaame.
ooo… so much fun. I <3 Seymore Saves the World!!
seymore saves the world is the best band in the midwest. period.
I’ve been listening to the cd most mornings since I got it at the release party. It’s not only fun, but smart and clever. It’s hard not to have a little crush on these cool guys.
Sey-more???…I wanna Hear-more. love this single
Dudes-
Sweet album! Witty and what the world needs.
