Seam

Seam was an American indie rock band from Chicago (formerly from Chapel Hill, North Carolina). Active from 1991 to 2000, it was led by Sooyoung Park, former frontman of Bitch Magnet. Seam's initial line-up included bassist Lexi Mitchell and drummer Mac McCaughan (of Superchunk).
The band signed to Homestead Records in the United States and City Slang in Europe, and released debut album Headsparks in 1992, the same year the band relocated to Chicago. In 1993 they left Homestead for Touch and Go Records, releasing the "Kernel" single before McCaughan left to be replaced by Bob Rising, with Craig White also joining on guitar. This line-up recorded the band's second album, The Problem with Me in 1993. 
The band returned in 1995 with the album Are You Driving Me Crazy?, with Park now joined by a new line-up of Reg Shrader (guitar), William Shin (bass guitar), and Chris Manfrin (drums). The band's final album, The Pace Is Glacial, was released in 1998. Their last tour was in Seoul, South Korea, in 2000.
