Imagine a band who fuse three part harmonies with scalding post-punk guitars; floor-filling bass lines with syncopated rhythms and lyrics about everything from high-school massacres to R&B lotharios musing on their lot in a post-apocalyptic wilderness.
Not easy, is it? But then Everything Everything aren't here to make life easy. They're here to challenge every knee-jerk convention of indie rock and dance on the grave of pointless retrogression.
Chances are you've come across Everything Everything before. Chances are they perplexed, intrigued and if you've an ear for something special, they excited you. The band whipped up interest in all quarters via the low key releases of 'Suffragette Suffragette' in December 2008, followed by 'Photoshop Handsome' in May and third single 'MY KZ, UR BF' in Oct 09.
'Schoolin'' is the first single to be taken from their recently completed debut album due for release in August.
Live, the band are poised to head out on the NME Radar tour co-headlining with Hurts followed by the main support slot on Delphic's forthcoming dates in May before the summer festivals kick in.
They are also so far confirmed to play Reading & Leeds, Glastonbury, Latitude and Bestival.
"Everything Everything are the latest addition to a proud lineage of idiosyncratic, unashamedly brainy Brit-rock." - Q
