Hooray for Christmas, for some the cherished times of carols about a winter wonderland bring joy. I on the other hand, am receiving much pleasure out of my newest gift, Evermore’s Real Life CD.
Cast your minds back a year and this is probably when these guys became really big. Like Jet they sold their track to companies with money, for these guys it was Channel 10, primarily on the teen soap, The OC.
I loved these guys before The OC, but not too long before as it was all pretty new for this great kiwi band. I am glad to hear some more music coming from New Zealand, because even though it is so close there isn’t much that I hear coming from our closest neighbour.
I was fortunate enough to see them live and learned they are all brothers, The Humes. So, Real Life huh? With saturated tracks like Running and It’s Too Late, one can only think of their music in those frames. Like many Indie bands, their tracks have a similar quality and theme in each, so if you like one, you can be assured you will like them all.
The thing that makes Evermore stand out for me is the story telling focus is quite evident, which as I mentioned previously in a separate post, enhances the musical meaning for me.

Tell me if you like or dislike Evermore and why? Merry Christmas to all.
