Step 4: Under the music menu you may either search alphabetically in the "all videos" section, or, scroll down to "Music Video Spy" and find the Sterns under that menu. We also suggest watching other hit videos such as Usher/R.Kelly's new hot collab: "Same Girl." Lil Mama's "Lipgloss" is a good choice for high school girls in need of a boost in self-esteem.

Boston Herold Review

January 22, 2006 Hotline: The Sterns prove to be a class act The Sterns are coming to a classroom near you. In the middle of a quick six-date tour through the Midwest two weeks ago, the band took a break from pubs and clubs to throw down at Chicago's DePaul University. But it wasn't in the student union or theater hall - it was in a regular ol' classroom. "We excel when we're freed from the confines of a proper stage," Chris Stern told the Herald this week. That's not to say the band doesn't bring it while on elevated platforms. Chicago and Detroit have warmed up immensely to Boston's jangle-pop savants, and the band also made stops in Brooklyn and Pennsylvania. "For whatever reason, we get a lot of love from Chicago, and the shows are amazing," Stern said. As for the Detroit show at the Lager House, Stern added, "We played the club over the summer and it was kind of a horror story, but this time the place was packed and we killed." The band is heading back out for nine dates in February, including a local Feb. 21 gig at Great Scott for the Glass Set's album release party and an all-ages show in Melrose three days later. Building a reputation with a glistening indie-pop sound that draws on the English Beat, The Smiths and Belle & Sebastian, the Sterns are playing relentlessly in preparation for the national release of its new disc, "Sinners Stick Together." Though currently available via the band's Web site, it'll be re-released through Boston's Omnirox Entertainment on March 13. Good timing, as the Sterns have four SXSW gigs lined up later that week. So far, no classrooms are on the itinerary. The Sterns

All Music Guide Review

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 13:57:14 -0700

www.allmusicguide.com Review British pop and politics have long been intertwined, but the rise of AOR in the Sixties created a split in the States, with AM's pop rarely moving beyond candy fluff for the mind, while rock orientated FM delved into more serious subjects. The Sterns, however, are determined to bridge that gap once and for all. 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. Like all the best pop bands, The Sterns' songs sound immediately familiar, yet never to the point of suggesting rip-off. The group's music echoes of the past, it glistens like the '60s, but for every nod to The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Kinks, there's an equal bow to their '70s and '80s equivalents - The Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Smiths, Belle & Sebastian, and briefly on "Supreme Girl" Madness. This is powerpop for a new now generation. And for this generation politics is back with a vengeance, intruding everywhere. And so The Sterns confront it head on, but with great wit or an unexpected twist. "Supreme Girl" is a grand example, the Harriet Myers' Supreme Court debacle as seen from George Bush's selfish viewpoint. Nigerian internet entrepreneurs, all suspiciously related to fallen dictators, seem a tad less predatory when seen through the eyes of one of their small children. Be it the abortion battles, the Iraq War ("All Saints", composed pre-invasion), Republicans insistence on painting dissent as treason, and religion, The Sterns tackle all the topics of the moment. However, if all that's a little too hard to handle, you can always take to your bed and pull the covers over your head "Twenty-Three Hours" a day, or just listen to the clutch of apolitical numbers that celebrate strong women, dismiss (college) degree driven lives, and dive into the autobiographical. A pop masterpiece whose music is as enticing as its themes are thought-provoking.

"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
