Four brothers, originally from Russia and growing up in Colorado, have become the judge’s choice to perform in the New Band Showcase at the 26th annual Cornerstone Music Festival on July 3rd. Fans voted for bands on the internet throughout April and May. The music industry panel then picked their choice from all the submissions to round out the schedule. Previous winners include Sixpence None The Richer and Columbia recording artists P.O.D.
Emigrating from Russia 12 years ago to find a better life in America, the boys began playing music at a young age. “We all start with the piano at age 6 and can move on to other instruments at 8” said lead singer Nikita. Ranging in age from 14 – 20 Everfound performed over 150 dates across the country in 2008 alone.
This is not just another cover band, they write their own music. “We want to renew a call to passion,” adds keyboard player Ruslan. “Life must be lived with purpose and excitement, otherwise you merely exist.”
Everfound accomplishes what few other bands today do – create music that lasts beyond the play button. The tunes will repeat in your head and the lyrics may become a soundtrack to your daily life.
Their third CD, “Colorful Alibis and Scandalous Smiles”, was released May 7th.
Everfound has been compared to bands like Coldplay and The Fray. But industry insiders say they are more than that. And with an underground buzz that is contagiously exciting, American teens are agreeing.
Congratulations from Jimmy Lakey to Everfound for their selection to appear at the annual Cornerstone Festival!
