NC Americana Acoustic Duo The Everydays Release Highly Anticipated Debut CD

Asheville, NC – Much to the excitement of Americana music fans worldwide, the highly anticipated debut CD by The Everyday's has been released! The Everydays, from Black Mountain, North Carolina, is the collaborative effort between singer-songwriters Tim Marsh and David Zoll. Both musicians also maintain membership in several area acts including Chalwa, Asheville Horns and Bayou Diesel. Tim Marsh and David Zoll also perform as solo acts under their respective names. The album was recorded and engineered by J Ferris at Discfunctinonal Family studios in Asheville, NC.

Says David, “This album for us is just a collection of tunes played and recorded in a live, bare-bones style. Some we wrote individually, some together, and some learned and recorded on the spot. That was part of the fun. It started more as just having a good time playing some songs at our friend J Ferris's studio. The more we listened back, the more we thought we might have something. We were really proud of the few co-writes and the arrangements. It started as a demo, then an EP, and eventually we decided to release a ten-track album.”

The Everydays grew from the common musical interests of Marsh and Zoll who first performed together in an electric band featuring Marsh's compositions. A love for acoustic roots music and vocal harmony lead the pair to form The Everydays, turning towards a simpler, more focused sound. The duo's musical influences range from Doc Watson, Clarence White and The Beatles to Simon & Garfunkel, CS&N, and the Grateful Dead.

"Meet The Everydays, the sweeter, subtler side of two local rockers; sincere songs with seventies swagger and timeless musicianship" - Laura Blackley, WNCW Host of Local Color 

"A finely crafted album...moody and textural, showcasing Zoll and Marsh's tasteful and complimentary guitar and vocal stylings." - Alli Marshell, Mountain Xpress

"The Everydays have created satisfyingly sincere songs, sung by soul-siblings with stirring stories to share". -Jonathan Scales, Jonathan Scales Fourchestra

The Everydays are currently performing in support of their self-titled debut, which has been receiving substantial airplay on 88.7 WNCW in Spindale, NC. In closing David has this to convey, “Love. Listen. Enjoy the tunes and the delivery. Dynamics. We feel like the real message will be delivered with our next album, which is already in the works.”

Rock Review: The Temperance Movement

Release Date: September 16, 2013

Label: Earache Records

Website

“Blues-drenched, soulful and loud – with an instantly recognizable explosive live sound” is how the British rockers, The Temperance Movement, describe themselves. No amateur musicians here, as various members have played with and are connected to such acts as Ben’s Brothers, Jamiroquai, and The Waterboys.

Based out of London, The Temperance Movement consists of Phil Campbell (vocals), Paul Sayer (guitar), Luke Potashnick (guitar), Nick Fyffe (bass), and Damon Wilson (drums).  Their debut studio release, The Temperance Movement, is rock and roll in its top form. They play their music with skill that is masterful and an attitude that is unshakable.  

Their claim of being “Britain’s next great rock and roll band” is one that they waste no time in justifying with the first track.  From the opening chords of “Only Friend,” it is evident that The Temperance Movement is the real deal.  The guitars are just mesmerizing and the passion in the lead vocals and behind the music are undeniable with the magic in their sound clear as the song goes on. “Ain’t No Telling” keeps things lively and the perfect example of their “blues-drenched, soulful” sound.  

“Pride” is a masterful low-key song showing that The Temperance Movement is just as fantastic when they turn it down and elect for a softer, more poignant approach.  With its smooth, effortless sound, “Be Lucky” is an all-around fun song that has a breezy atmosphere to it. Things are back to rocking and rolling with the edgy and lively “Midnight Black.” Its manic energy is contagious.

Heading into the second half of the album, “Know For Sure” and “Morning Riders” are two rocking songs with a cool, laid-back attitude to them.  These are some jams to drink and barbeque to on a nice summer day.  The Temperance Movement taps into a more Americana sound with the country sounding “Lovers and Fighters.”  “Take It Back” is nothing short of a cracking song that hooks one in with its energy, catchy chorus, and dazzling guitars.  “Smoldering” is another low-key song that packs a lyrical punch.  “Serenity” closes things out by capturing the essence of its name, as the music and vocals go by like a light breeze.

The Temperance Movement’s self-titled debut release is nothing short of greatness.  This is real, passionate music that destroys all the crap cluttering up the television and radio.  I am not ready to declare them the saviors of rock, music messiahs, or anything like that because this is just their first full-length release, but there is no denying that they know how to make damn fine music.  If you are looking for some rocking music, then look no further than The Temperance Movement. 

4.5/5
