About Me |
|
| In the world of Tight Pants Syndrome--a constantly evolving lineup of Saint Louis' finest popsters led by songwriter/guitarist Tom Stephens--everybody sings. The latest group--also featuring Maxtone Four's Brian McClelland, STL drummer-at-large Scott Hermes (Phonocaptors/Fantasy Four), and keyboardist Tim McAvin (Lydia's Trumpet/the Joobs)--carries on in the tradition of the original 2005 lineup, keeping big harmonies and lightning-hot pop hooks in the forefront of their shimmering '60s pop. With the recent release of three new tracks, including KDHX fave "Cool Bad Cherry," the Pants are preparing to release their first full-length CD, Singles--a sweet collection of of their best tunes culled from several of the band's very limited release (and always coveted) singles.
From the RIVERFRONT TIMES: BEST POP BAND 2006 - TIGHT PANTS SYNDROME The cult of power-pop geeks is small but fanatical. Picture a cadre of harmony aficionados who might name-drop obscure bands, or devoted vinyl crate-diggers who speak with hushed reverence about finding impossibly rare 45s at a flea market. It's fitting, then, that very few local bands specialize in preserving power-pop's legacy. Enter Tight Pants Syndrome. A quintet bolstered with new member Scott Hermes on drums, the Pants wield the fiercest harmonies and melodies in town, with multiple layers of pop sugar spun into catchy songs. (Check out their MySpace page, www.myspace.com/tightpantssyndrome, then try to get the bubblegum-fuzz gem "Your Buzz Is Safe with Me Tonight" out of your head. Just try.) Those who scour the countryside for the Yellow Pills compilations, who attend every Dressy Bessy show in town or who are just plain tired of what passes for pop today will love Tight Pants Syndrome—guaranteed.
