Beat The Indie Drum

It’s not every day that I actually get the chance to write about music that:

A.) pumps me up and washes me over with nostalgia and ear-to-ear grins

B.) is pressed handsomely onto colored vinyl

C.) hails from Philadelphia

The upstart Tiny Engines record label has struck gold again with Everyone Everywhere’s self-titled LP debut. These Philly lads have delivered a sonic blast of A-quailty emo-punk that picks up right where Nothing Feels Good-era Promise Ring and We Are The Only Friends-era Piebald left off. This is as solid an album as most will hear all year and bound for my year-end list for sure. I hope I’m not the only one happier than a pig in shit that this sound is slowly becoming en vogue again.

Snatch up this sexy slab of maroon or white vinyl (your choice) via the TE store for 11 bones. It couldn’t hurt for you to add the fine Castevet 12” to your cart while you are there. Everyone Everywhere will also have their debut 7” repressed in a few months via the Evil Weevil label. If you can’t wait and want, nay NEED, to hear it you can snatch up the songs themselves via the holy-shit-awesome netlabel-slash-everything If You Make It website here. Also look out for a few upcoming shows, most notably one at the Barbary on the 28th, The Fire on the 31st and Kungfu Necktie on 1/10.
