"What happens when the music industry comes to the point to no return (of money to the artists that is), you're dropped from your label, and Obama is elected president? Make a Kickstarter for your next record. Inspired by our current president's 'grass-roots' campaign efforts, the Californian trio Everybody Else decided to take a gamble and see if their fans were like everybody else (sorry, had to go there!) in the world or if they actually saw monetary value in whatever they listened to through their iPod earphones. People (that means you) can pledge any amount of money in return for some kickbutt prizes and the happiness of taking part in financing the band's next album. But if they don't reach their goal of $8,000 by the deadline then nothing'll be donated at all. It seems that people are more than willing to back the band with a twenty dollar bill (fact: Andrew Jackson is the president featured on the front, the burning Twin Towers are the hidden image on the back)."
Their music is suffiently indie and unique to the point where this teenager can't really explain it. With influences ranging from Rooney to Wilco and Petty to Prince, you can hardly blame me. What I can tell you is that the clear, vintage voice of Carrick Moore Gerety is well-showcased and all the better for delivering one catchy lyric after another. And it sounds to these untrained ears like they play their instruments alright, too.
