The Everything. Just small band from Leicester who are
taking up a lot of stoplight after their recent mention in Foals’ interview,
they claimed The Everything to be “the ones to watch in 2013” and Basic
Magazine wanted to be the first to hear from them.
The new band consists of three
members James, Hadley and Reece who have grown up together. The 18 year olds
are still young and lack experience in the industry but the music they have
been producing has caught a lot of attention. The Everything originally started
posting their songs on YouTube and received a staggering 1.1 million views on
their most recent single “Carried Away”. XL recordings, a big record label who
have also signed Friendly Fires to their label and worked with The XX saw
potential in there videos and decided to sign them on. “Life changing.” Is what
James from The Everything said, “when we got the call from XL it was one of the
most nerve racking conversations, it was just such a shock for us, but we are
so happy to be with XL and recording our new album” The teens have been warned
by there label not to get much spotlight, the lads were recently captured in a
bar fight in their local town. “There still young and learning,” spoke Richard
Russell, founder of XL Recordings, “they have great potential and we don’t want
them to waste it away through their behaviour”.
They are
due to release their new EP “Back Where We Started” on June 14th and
Hadley has high hopes for the release. “We have spent a lot of time recording
our album now and its almost complete, it’s been a great laugh with the lads”
During the interview we got to catch up with songwriter Reece who explained how
the boys kick started their careers. “We’ve always been mates during school,
music has also been our interest so we just thought, fuck it lets make a band…
and it worked!” he also added “We started off small performing at pubs/bars
etc. until we realised YouTube could help us get more attention, and we noticed
people actually really enjoyed the music”
