The myth of origin of Cincinatti Cincinnati's The Seedy Seeds begins with a casual conversation sometime in late 2005 about instruments Mike and Margaret owned but didn't yet know how to play. Writing, playing, and recording followed in short order.

The pickiest indie connoisseur will find much to love in their quirky production and clever writing, but what separates The Seedy Seeds' from their contemporaries is the pop sensibility they maintain despite their indie appeal. Highly danceable and full of fun instrumentation (banjo, accordion, kazoo...) this is not difficult music to like. One listen should be enough to convince you, as it did wonderfulabsurdity, who wrote in a REC for Earned Average Dance America Buy Song :

It's like all your favorite indie bands got together for an afternoon of popping wheelies and drinking lemonade.

Truly, The Seedy Seeds are one hip young actor/director patron away from being heavily featured in the soundtrack of a sleeper-hit coming-of-age comedic drama. Some more highlights as proof:

Alberta Buy Song
Eponym Buy Song
Rise to Receive Buy Song
The Little Patton Buy Song (Rad kazoo in this one.)

Back in May, Sean Cannon from BUZZGRINDER had this to say:

I saw The Seedy Seeds, from Cincinnati, a few days ago. I assumed that a band using an iPod, accordion, kazoo, guitar and banjo had to be kitschy and, well, not too great. I was humbled. They tore it up.

The Seedy Seeds are cuter than Teddy Ruxpin's kid brother with a pocket full of dandelions.
