The Everglows Q&A

Your names:

Where are you from?
East London, England.

Name of band:
The Everglows.

How would you describe yourselves?
A powerful three-piece band playing retro sounds with modern influences. Tight catchy tunes that stick in you head.

Who are your main influences musically?

What do you hope to achieve in music?
To get our music to as wide an audience as possible, by playing regular gigs & to record our first LP.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Recording our first EP and getting it played on the radio. The response to 'That Other Girl' has been amazing, totally unexpected!

And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Me and Ray did an open mic the second time we ever met Steve. We didn't go on till 11pm and were absolutely hammered! I dropped my pick and spent 30 seconds on my hands and knees trying to pick it up. Not cool. Deffo night to forget. Somehow Steve still wanted to join!

If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
Ten Packs Of Twenty. I think it captures the sound perfectly. It's tight, melodic, catchy with a real power to the whole thing.
