Shawn Neary has moved on from Tapes 'n Tapes (he played bass on The Loon) to bigger things, like saving the world. Because, see, his new band is called Seymore Saves the World, and there's no way they just play music. They must fly around on golden horses repairing the hole in the ozone layer and installing water filters in Africa, right?

Apparently, even superheroes take breaks to record and tour, because the band just released their self-titled debut via Royalty, Etc. Records, and they kick off a U.S. tour April 27 in their hometown of Minneapolis.

In addition to Neary, the band consists of keyboardist/vocalist Scott Hefte and drummer Michael McGregor. But even though none of them are named Seymore, they will have even more dates than the ones below very soon.
