Seymour Butts (band)

Seymour Butts is a two-piece punk band in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The band consists of Jacob Keplinger and Justin Siegel, and has released three albums thus far. They are signed to Pink Hat Records.

History
Seymour Butts was created out of an unreleased acoustic EP created by Keplinger and Siegel spontaneously in Keplinger's dorm room at Middle Tennessee State University in September 2016. Months later, in November, they decided to make an entire album based on that EP. They recorded the entire album in two days in Keplinger's dorm room and named the album Seymour Butts. The album featured tracks that were directly and obviously about people and places at MTSU, and many of the fellow dormmates and peers appreciated the release. The band decided to get more serious in 2017, and they changed their name to New Threads.

However, the fun wasn't over yet. In 2018, Keplinger and Siegel revived the band for a second album titled Infinity War. This was a game-changing album for them, because it included future New Threads single "Alone, Leave Me."

The future of Seymour Butts is unknown at the moment. With New Threads' recent relocation to Boston, Massachusetts, no word has been made on if Seymour Butts will move with it. Most recently, the band has updated their Spotify bio to include a vengeance against New Threads, as the viral cover of "Alone, Leave Me" proved a heavy blow to Seymour Butts.

However, following two years of silence from the band, Seymour Butts resurfaced yet again with their long-rumored third LP Jazz Music on July 25, 2020. More in the vein of The Free Rock Trio rather than New Threads, this will likely be the final breath from the duo.
