Springfield, Missouri’s own Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (SSLYBY) are pooped. I mean c’mon, they played their hearts out this past year with a full US tour and recently wrapped up a two month long Euro-tour. You’ve got to hand it to them, they deserve a break. However, they’re not slowing down just yet. They’ve already began writing their next record and have lined up a couple shows for next year. You can probably expect the same super fun indie-pop sound that their last record, Pershing, brought. You can catch SSLYBY at…
