Opinion

I have to apologize to Steve from Ariel Publicity for taking so long to get this review posted here on MikeInWV.com!

I like to break the mold here with reviews from time to time with bands and artists who are trying to get their names out to the public. Steve has been gracious enough to mail me albums from artists that most of you have never heard of. So far, so good!

EveryBoy is quite the capable songwriter. Every single one of the ten songs on the last lala’s is catchy on a certain level, and certainly entertaining. Honestly, I’m always skeptical of new music. I’m a music snob. It takes a lot to hold my attention anymore. Alas, the side-effects of being a guitar teacher!

The recording is clear, crisp, and full. This guy can sing! It’s a mix between a younger Tom Petty, Peter Gabriel and The Beatles. Those may be terribly generic comparisons, but I’m not familiar enough with this genre to give you anything better. The vocal harmonies are excellent too. Musicianship is spot-on and well-recorded. This album is damn good.

For those of you into the college rock/indie rock scene, you absolutely should give everyBoy a listen.

Kudos, everyBoy, you’ve got a strong product on your hands. Hopefully your future is successful and many full shows booked. Good luck out there!

Again, thanks to Steve from Ariel Publicity for sending this album out to me even though it took forever to get the review posted. \m/
