The Sterns

Boston-area band the Sterns derive their British-sounding jangly rock from the likes of Squeeze, XTC, the Smiths, and the English Beat. Featuring former members of ska bands Mass. Hysteria and Westbound Train, the lineup consists of Chris Stern (vocals/guitar), Alex Stern (guitar/vocals), Emeen Zarookian (bass/vocals), Michael Sixx (keyboard), and Andrew Sadoway (drums). A self-released first album, Say Goodbye to the Camera, surfaced in 2005, followed by Sinners Stick Together in March 2007 from Omnirox Entertainment. ~ Kenyon Hopkin
