Everyone Everywhere- A lot Of Weird People Standing Around (Evil Weevil Rec)
If you weren't up on your indie rock stats in the mid to late 90's you missed out on a great time in the world of underground/ DIY music. Punk and hardcore was becoming much less testosterone filled, it was now okay to wear sweaters to shows, and tuneful, pensive bands like Texas Is The Reason and The Promise Ring were all the rage while everyone was talking about this outfit from Chicago called Cap'n Jazz who would soon become everyone's infatuation.
Everyone Everywhere, with their meandering, jangly guitar parts, earnest singing and songs about summer fun really remind me of that era- youthful and dynamic pop punk that would be perfectly suited for a crisp fall day raking leaves.
A great 7" record from these Philadelphia kids, the kind that brings up memories of waiting for the next Jade Tree release or when Revelation started releasing softer music. This sucessfully pays homage to some of the greatest bands in independent music while still retaining its own identity.
Limited to 200 copies and with a free digital download, this record will move pretty quick from the 7" record bin.
Ideal for fans of: Rainer Maria, Mineral, Braid, 'Four Minute Mile' period of the Get Up Kids.
