The three original members of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, lead guitarist Will Knauer, drummer Philip Dickey, and bassist Tom Hembree, met in high school in Springfield, MO, thanks to a mutual friend, and soon formed a band. It was Dickey who came up with their name while shopping with his mother one day in the local mall, and he also wrote most of their songs. Once in college, the trio added singer/guitarist John Robert Cardwell and bassist/recording engineer Jonathan James, and the band's debut album, Broom, recorded in Knauer's home and originally only meant to be a local release, came out in 2005.
