St. Louis | power-pop
In the world of Tight Pants Syndrome—a constantly evolving lineup of St. Louis' finest popsters led by songwriter/guitarist Tom Stephens—everybody sings. The latest group—featuring Maxtone 4's Brian McClelland, STL drummer-at-large Scott Hermes (Phonocaptors/Fantasy Four), keyboardist Tim McAvin (Lydia's Trumpet/the Joobs), and new addition Erin Hogan (Failside)—carries on in the tradition of the original 2005 lineup, keeping big harmonies and lightning-hot pop hooks in the forefront of their shimmering '60's pop. The Pants are have just released their long-anticipated debut full-length, Singles. Consisting of all of their limited-edition (and always coveted) singles on one disc—plus five new tracks including live faves "John's Niece is Very Pretty," "Dumb Love," and "Suburban Girl"—Singles serves as a primer for the uninitiated and soon-to-be-converted pop fan.
