Everything Everything are an experimental indie-electro outfit from Manchester. They are currently looking forward to playing many festivals and expanding their fan base with their new upcoming album.
What sets Everything Everything apart from everyone else?
We try to do things differently, and treat all styles of music with the same amount of value.
What is the song you look forward to performing the most?Once it's ready 'Two for Nero' will be a live favourite for us because the end section is totally improvised.
Describe how it felt to be on the BBCs sound of 2010 list with the likes of Ellie Goulding, Delphic and other amazing bands?
It felt good, we were lucky to have lots of attention without a super-burden of pressure as we weren't number one on the list - a great combination.
Your style is quite unique; who is your biggest influence?
We all love Radiohead, and we also like Steve Reich and US R&B, these are probably what shapes us the most.
Manchester is known for a its music scene, how hard was it to stand out from the crowd?
it's only hard to stand out in manchester if you are trying to copy the old styles the city is known for, if you are doing anything different you soon stand out. If you are doing the old thing and are really really good you will stand out too.
If you had to be a cover band, who would you cover and why?We'd love to be a Destiny's Child or En Vogue cover band, the three part harmonies and vocal rhythms are fun and to perform.
The music is quite arty and the lyrics are quick and catchy like if Jim Carey was on speed ; how do you write your songs?We start with a demo on guitar or usually laptop, the band has a listen and converts it into reality. Lyrically the ideas come from lots of places in my life, I write lyrics like I think - there is always more than one thing happening in my head (in everyone's!) and I don't feel it's honest to strip down lyrics or thoughts to one theme or idea, it's just not human.
Schoolin' seems to be getting a lot of airplay, why do you think this is?We chose to release Schoolin' first as we thought it was a slightly more 'difficult' radio record, and we wanted to show a more mature side to ourselves in the lead up to the album, we were very pleasantly surprised by the radio response
What's the funniest thing to happen to you on tour?We got trapped in the lift in Ibiza, in the hottest part of the day - luckily Mickey our drummer was carrying a bucket of ice so we had an ice party in this tiny lift for 2 hours.
