The Constant is a powerpop group from New York, lead by singer/songwriter/guitarist Steven Baggs, who's a voice right out of the late '90’s with his pain vocals and rocking tight sound. More precisely, he sounds like Eagle Eye Cherry and has the growl of Dave Grohl, but don't hold it against him. The Constant is a little more scruffy than Third Eye Blind and lay somewhere between innocent powerpop and the Goo Goo Dolls rootsier edge. Assorted synthesizers ground the band in 2009, but that '90s sound is unmistakable and arguably the closest thing powerpop has had to a full-fledged moment in the sun since its '70s heyday.
Blending the best ingredients off of pop's musical spice rack, Steven writes songs about past relationships and life experiences which serve up an astringent view of love, loss and everything in between. Each song is filled with sharpened hooks toughened by innovative guitar riffs and harmonious vocals that will settle into your head and stay there.
