ROB SEZ: I've raved about the Australian band Even here in previous posts, and it's time for me to do it again. If you like your guitar-based rock in the classic 1960s and 1970s British mold — with hummable melodies and succinct guitar solos — I highly recommend you give Even a try. Start with the band's masterful 1998 album Come Again and explore from there. Even have a great new double-length long player Reverse Light Years, released in late 2020. Moshcam made a beautiful pro-shot film of one of the band's annual "Christmas Even" shows in late December. It's well worth paying to view HERE (you can sample a full-length song for free).

Love it Rob. Great band.
ReplyDeleteRob, thank you! I listened to this amazing show while I was out running this morning and almost turned around and ran another 8 miles to hear it again! Great band that hasn't lost one single step over the years. Check out the new album Reverse Light Years, you won't be sorry!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thanks, gentlemen. If you haven't already, check out my older Even posts. There are some audio treasures among them...
ReplyDeleteLove Even! iirc, Ashley Naylor also was in The Grapes with Sherry Rich.
ReplyDeleteCheers, D. Thanks for the comment, and long live Even! Come back in about a month, and I'll have another Even post up by then.
