LA-based Indie Trio to Record New Album in 2009

LA-based indie rock/pop trio, Everybody Else, hits the studio in early 2009 to record the follow-up to their self-titled debut album that dropped in April, 2007.
Lead singer, Carrick Moore-Gerety, Bassist, Austin James Williams, and Drummer, Mikey McCormack have been on back-to-back US tours since their album was released, piggy-backing with Rooney, (who share their label, Militia Group), in the summer of 2007. In January, 2008, EBE churned out a self-produced acoustic album of their original 12 songs, titled “1 1/2,” which was released in Japan and landed them on a well-received Japanese tour. The band just returned back to LA after two back-to-back US tours, including a 3 month tour with Hanson, and are preparing to gather their collective new material to record their sophomore album in 2009.
While you wouldn’t know it by the crowds of devoted fans screaming the lyrics to every song at EBE shows, the 12 songs featured on their debut album are older than the current lineup itself. The songs were written by singer, Carrick Moore-Gerety, who created the band after playing with “The Push Kings.” Carrick joined up with Mikey McCormack, who had been drumming in VA-based group, “The Waking Hours,” and the two collaborated to refine and record the 12 tracks (along with 4 others that are now available for purchase on iTunes as the “Gold Noise EP”) with producer Rick Parker (BRMC). In 2006, the band was introduced to Austin James Williams, a standing EBE fan and eager new talent on the LA scene. They quickly hired him as their new bassist after realizing the powerful dynamic, and the band was signed to Militia Group soon thereafter, finally releasing the original 12 tracks.
Even though the success of the first album is undeniable and EBE fans are still relentlessly devoted to the band’s trademark songs, Everybody Else is ready to reinvent themselves as musicians. With three musicians whose talent and song-writing skills stand strong individually, the new album is sure to reflect the collective contributions of each member, while staying true to their signature, universal power-pop sound.
