Don't be disappointed when you find out that the name "SSM" is derived from from the first letter of each member's last name; while not the most colorful method of coming up with a title for a band, their music is much more creative. The trio from Detroit don't do a whole lot using traditional methods. In fact, their latest album in the works- Break Your Arm For Evolution was recorded straight to seven-track tape. In a world of undo, cut and paste, that is quite a ballsy decision. Using keyboards, vocals, guitar, drums and sweet, sweet programming, SSM is out to prove that they aren't afraid to go against the grain. Chances are, they'd be more afraid to follow it.
