The Sterns, a Boston based Pop quintet, display a deft lyrical turn of phrase and an inspiring studio work ethic, while melding together the best elements of The Kinks, Elvis Costello, The Smiths and Belle and Sebastian. Their sophomore effort, “Sinners Stick Together,” is a critically-acclaimed amalgam of traditional brit-pop, ambitiously lush harmonies, and biting socio-political satire. The band has used the bulk of 2007 to promote the record throughout the entire United States, while supporting groups such as Apples In Stereo, The Meat Puppets, Nightmare of You, The English Beat, and Hard-Fi. The hard work has paid off, as The Sterns were nominated for 2 Boston Music Awards: Best Local Song "Supreme Girl" and Outstanding Pop Act of the Year.
"Jangly pop guitar riffs and catchy throwback English-rock vocals fill their sophomore album, Sinners Stick Together but that doesn't mean the Sterns shy away from substance. "All Saints" exudes an anti-war sentiment and the still-whistling-it-hours-after-first-listen "Supreme Girl" is an imagined tongue-in-cheek rendezvous between Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers and George W. Bush." – SPIN
"Sinners Stick Together, the quintet's second album, is awash in bright and breezy pop music, and drenched in infectious, hook laden choruses, effervescent melodies, chirpy harmonies, and bouncy rhythms...A pop masterpiece whose music is as enticing as its themes are thought-provoking." – All Music Guide
