The Seymores
Treat Her Like a Showcat (Caroline)
by Jamie Kiffel
With the lolling-tongue vocals of They Might Be Giants and some of the lyrical silliness of Violent Femmes and possibly The Kinks, The Seymores drop fairly neatly into the polka-dot and polyester plaid category of laughworthy pop. Unfortunately, their tunes remain stuck like a jack-in-the-box spring to the base of the pop formulas set up by all these groups, and often, their bounce does not reach high enough to touch the level of novelty that made these bands noteworthy.
