Four-piece disillusioned indie-pop outfit Everything and Everyone get to the core of our daydreaming, with bright, melodic songs that feature airy, sometimes groovy guitar riffs and constantly dancing harmonic vocals. This comes as a departure from the otherwise gritty, rat-infested post-punk revival taking over the Boston music scene.

Releasing their debut, Hard To Try, via Disposable America, the band has teamed up with the label again to release their upcoming album Fighting The Sound. You may recognize Disposable America from when we discussed them with another Boston-based label, Bob Records. In the piece, Bob details Disposable America’s emergence as a label, growing from a one-man button maker with a passion for local bands into a full-fledged platform for supporting and promoting their music. That home-grown, roots in the New England soil feeling is channeled into Everything and Everyone’s warming basement pop.

With a penchant for crafting songs that ask questions, Everything and Everyone ask perhaps the hardest of them all–is this really all there is? Crafting a video for the single “Really It,” they answer themselves via the only acceptable method: by going bowling. The video follows the boys in the band documentary style and is covered in bowling shoe cleaner, arcade quarter dust, and nacho cheese–a despondent young person’s dream world. The song is restrained in the defeated manner of the lyrics, questioning if there’s more than just ten pins we see. Though cheerful notes linger in the musicality, offering a glimmer of hope at the bottom of the crane machine game. The video was shot and edited by the talented Bradford Krieger, who also gave us the scenery of Soft Fangs’ Dog Park back in November.

You can pick up Fighting The Sound when it drops May 26th through Disposable America. And be sure to make it out to Lilypad on the 30th to dance with the band at the album release show.
