Biografía de Everclear

Everclear is an alternative rock band originally from Portland, Oregon and was formed by Art Alexakis who is the only remaining original member.

The group originally consisted of the trio Alexakis as lead vocalist and guitarist, Craig Montoya on bass and Greg Eklund on drums. They found success with their first three full length albums, 'Sparle and Fade', 'So Much for the Afterglow' and 'Songs from an American Movie Vol. One: Learning How To Smile' which were all released on Capitol Records.

All three of these releases were certified platinum selling in the States, yet the band couldn't maintain the success for their next two releases and in 2003 both Montoya and Eklund decided to leave the project. Although Alexakis decided to persist with Everclear and released a further two albums with other musicians. Everclear have struggled with promotion campaigns and record label support throughout their career, one of the main reasons American Movie Vol. Two wasn't considered a successful album was due to the fact it was released just four months after the first and the public became confused as to why the band were releasing original material whilst singles were still being promoted from the predecessor.

Similar disputes occurred during the promotion of Slow Motion Daydream due to Alexakis demanding an early solo track that had been toured the previous year be chosen as the lead whilst record bosses were far more keen on 'The New York Times'. The end result meant that neither received consistent backing and the album stalled after passing 100,000 copies and the demise seemed unavoidable after both Greg and Craig decided they were leaving. However Alexakis managed to salvage the reputation of the band and worked on the successes they achieved in the 1990s.

Críticas en vivo

Everclear is perhaps one of the better renowned bands in the alternative rock movement in the 1990’s, and their live performances still stand strong to this day.
Lead singer, Art Alexakis, has a strong passion for performing music, and you can see his intense dedication of giving his greatest effort in his performances. Some of the best music that has been written is often inspired by intense pain and turmoil, and Art Alexakis has sure experienced his fair share of tragedy. When he was young he experienced the deaths of several people who were very close to him, including his brother who overdosed on drugs. These circumstances would later impact the lyrical style and intense emotional mood of most of Everclear’s songs.
Everclear presents an energetic performance when they are in concert. Art Alexakis plays heavy, distorted chord progressions in an often fast tempo and sings enthusiastically into the microphone. Although Everclear’s songs often tackle intense subject matters such as drug addiction, they are often presented in a pop-punk format consisting of catchy hooks. The crowd is always enthusiastic to see Everclear. They jump up and down to the hard rock performance of “So Much for the Afterglow” and they sing every word to the heart-touching song “Wonderfull”.
Everclear tours every year with the Summerland tour, which is a tour founded by Art Alexakis. During this tour you can expect to catch the performances of many well regarded 90’s alternative rock bands that open up for Everclear including, Sugar Ray, Gin Blossoms, and Lit.
