A perfect example of the changing methods of the music business, Springfield, Missouri's Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin turned heads not through a series of concerts or a television appearance, but by posting their 2005 debut, Broom, on their blog. Interest, praise, and even a love letter from San Francisco Weekly came pouring in, setting the stage for SSLYBY's signing to Polyvinyl Records, frequent touring, and their second album, Pershing, which began a string of Billboard 200 appearances. Comparisons to more established groups like the Shins abound, and the band’s sweet, '60s-influenced harmonies continue to attract notice and fans. ~ Tom Forget
