Choosing which album would be my first to be reviewed was actually kind of a challenge. I didn't know whether to go with a favorite of mine, a well known classic or a brand-new release because I don't know (and still don't know) which direction this blog will take. After a couple of posts/ reviews I'll get the hang of what I intend to do. So it goes:
Everyone Everywhere's debut album is packed with good times. The Philadelphia based Indie/Emo band keep their songs dynamic, endearing and honest without plaguing them with over-contemplated and unnecessary effects, lyrics or production. While the music isn't overtly technical, there are plenty of riffs and fills to keep repeated listens enjoyable. Everyone Everywhere are a humble basement/ backyard band - they want everyone to have a good time, but they don't want to demand enjoyment, nor do they want to sing about worthless things, they rather muse about life's little struggles and situations.
Interestingly, Everyone Everywhere "released" their album through what they call an BlogTour. Essentially, every song on their album was released on a different blog over a period of a week and a half. Even though the BlogTour has ended, Everyone Everywhere won't chop your head off for downloading their album. You can buy it here: http://www.tinyengines.net/ or stream it at here: http://www.punknews.org/bands/everyoneeverywhere Check iTunes too.
Everyone Everywhere also has a 4 song EP All These Weird People Standing Around out from last year, which is fantastic as well.
It's pointless until you hear them:
