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.

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.
Sunny pop hooks clash with punk riffs and witty lyrics/vocals in The Everson's debut LP, Summer Feeling . Influences run rampant, ranging from a predilection toward the vocal harmonies of 60s pop, early pop-punk, and more recent art wave. The New Zealand band's guitar-based features Mark Turner of Little Pictures as lead vocalist, who messaged me about this new project. It wasn't the first time he'd messaged me; I found another email that included this great little video for "Hyacinth Girl". In it the band takes [...]
Recently I caught on to the Eversons , another great act from New Zealand. They've just released their latest record, Summer Feeling , and it's exactly the sort of album that gets me excited for warm weather. It's got energy, it's got hooks, and honestly, it's got a little bit of homage to a lot of other acts. My first run through, I sort of have the impression that the band's putting their own sort of spin upon Los Campesinos or even Art Brut . If you're [...]

Tumble these Singles Here's our Top 5 singles of 2011. Sometimes a band has a song where just by itself it's the shit. Everything else around the album is sometimes window dressing and we're just not aware of anything else. In some cases more than others we think ok there's the hit or crap the band just releases a few songs so it's a bunch of EPs. Anyway, here's a few jems worth bring to your attention. Happy New Year and Enjoy! 05) " Don't Think I'll Make It Through Another " MP3 [...]

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Sonicbrat - Bed Of Forty Winks Sonicbrat is the enduring moniker of sound artist Darren Ng, whose work is characterised by an intricate tapestry of field recordings and found sounds, strung together by subtly processed acoustic instrumentation with a classical bent. Gentle, stirring and complex, Ng's music is the sort that invites itself into and comfortably inhabits one's imagination. His latest release, Hana, is his musing on the [...]
