Four graphic designers hanging off a wire fence. Who knows, this could be the start to a successful sitcom. Here's our third in the 'Love Thy Neighbour' tune swap series with our pals over at Under the Radar . This week, Courtney Sanders introduces you to The Eversons . _____ Did you know we're totally proud of our New Zealand accents? We're also a self-depracating lot so you may not have heard us talk about it much, but there are a growing number of New Zealand [...]
New Zealand pop band The Eversons have given us a fitting (for today) rendition of the Skeeter Davis classic "The End of The World". Featuring front-man Mark Turner on vocals and a softly finger-plucked acoustic guitar, along with a chorus of back-up singers, The Eversons' version may be among the better covers of this song out there. Listen to it while you can. It'll all be over soon. See ya on the other side.
Absolutely Cuckoo: Minnesota Covers 69 Love Songs The Absolutely Cuckoo project brought together 69 Minnesota bands to cover each of the Magnetic Fields' "69 Love Songs."

The Eversons have made a quirky, if not emotionally unsettling, video for their free single Terminally Lame ! The green aerobics man/lady with lop sided breasts is particularly upsetting! Click on their name to download the song free!

Wednesday, July 11, 2012 As much as I love my favorite Austin acts, I also have a soft spot for guitar pop bands from New Zealand. Thanks to some lazy nighttime browsing on Twitter (credit goes to this guy), I discovered The Eversons. Their debut album, Summer Feeling, is appropriately titled - it sounds warm, sunny, carefree, and fun. It should also include a warning label that says it "may induce giddy singalongs." One of the LP's highlights is the lead track, Could It [...]
Clever, addicting and absolutely amazing, what more can I say? The Eversons are the latest band to emerge from the Southern Hemisphere that packs a punch. This New Zealand quartet blew me away from the very first time I heard their music and they feel like a band I have been enjoying for years. As a matter of fact, they seem eerily reminiscent of their self-described role models Weezer . Much like their heroes’ debut ( Weezer’s self-titled debut album a.k.a. The Blue Album ), The Eversons first track knocked me [...]
2012 has been pretty darn fantastic for music thus far. Here's 10 tracks released this year that I just can't stop listening to. This was a hard list to compile. There were at least 10 more songs that I wanted to add. #10 Cloud Nothings - Stay Useless #9) Tanlines - All Of Me #8) Kishi Bashi - Bright Whites #7) The Spinto Band - Keep Them Alive #6) [...]
These Shaky Isles è allo stesso tempo il nuovo sampler dell’etichetta neozelandese Lil’ Chief Records e una formidabile compilation (in free download!) di brani indie-pop: These Shaky Isles by Various Artists
Well, it's been a week since our last post, and it was a nice break. We resume normal activities with a bouillabaisse of music and music news. Consider These Fast Romantics - "Funeral Song" Despite the title, this is an exuberant track with jangle and power pop tendencies. It's from the forthcoming Fast Romantics album entitled "Afterlife Blues." - Patterns - "Blood" and "Induction" [...]
One month ago, I hadn't heard of most artists on this compilation. Excluding a handful that were featured in the past (John Maus, The Virgins, Eversons, Tesla Boy, Jesus H. Foxx), the great majority of these new finds were via ...
Full disclosure. I love love love The Eversons . I have never met them. They don't know me. According to the interwebs, their home country of New Zealand is 8532 miles (13,000+ kilometers) away, so they are fairly safe from me becoming a stalker. But, something in their charming pop songs strikes a chord in me and I can't resist listening to tracks like "Could It Ever Get Better" and "I'm A Conservative" over and over and over again. Last month, The Eversons released their first full length album Summer Feeling on [...]
The Eversons specialise in upbeat pop numbers, carried along by catchy call-and-response vocals and arrangements that favour the guitar. Their lyrics use a wry sense of humour to talk about the bittersweet feeling of being young, how poorly prepared they are to grow up, and what it’s like to look out at the world from a small country like New Zealand. Download Could it ever get better [...]
What if Weezer were from New Zealand? The obvious answer is that probably nobody would have ever heard of them. Well, you people would have, because you guys are erudite pop aficionados. The Eversons are from New Zealand, so they're working with one hand tied behind their back, but they're taking the bull by the horns and moving to Melbourne, Australia. Not really, though they allude to it in their song Heading Overseas. I'll admit it, I was never much of a Weezer fan, so I'm going on hearing only a [...]
We've had seven sunny weekends in a row, which must be some kind of record for the Northwest. As such, it's been the perfect time to take out the Bimmer. And in related news, Andi's dad thought it would be a fun project to spend a weekend sanding it down and giving it a new paint job. Score. Now on to music: Stuarto, the host leading into my 10pm Friday night show at KSVR and KSVU, and I have been concocting plans. These brief quarter-hour strategy sessions that take place [...]
Not too long ago I brought you a sweet single from New Zealand's The Eversons , discussing the gems off their recent album Summer Feeling . I was stoked today when they offered up a free B-Side from that recording session, and it's more blissful pop to warm your heart (as if I needed that hear in Texas). You can find this song on their 73 for Could It Ever Get Better , which you can pick up straight from the band if you offer [...]
Fantastic video and song from The Eversons debut album, Summer Feeling . The video was made by Trophy Wife Productions using stop motion animation and felt. Buy this album.
