There are 5 great toe-tappers on this EP by The Eversons from New Zealand. I am always amazed that young bands can always improve on this genre or keep it fresh. With just the right amount of jam, a dash marmalade reverb and friendly vocal melodies the music becomes instantly familiar like your favorite order at the local deli. Although I would not know what to order in New Zealand eatery I’d imagine it may have to be the lamb with some sort of goat cheese right and side of local chips? Anyway, the point is there is a nice ring to their self narrated style lyrical musings. The music is overly familiar not too far away indeed of the self referential conversational sounds the Modern Lovers created. It would be nice for you to invite them to your next house party as I’m sure they may be just as chatty as they are good band.
I’m a Conservative MP3 from their self-titled EP Get Some!

I had never heard of these guys, but I’m liking the song. Got a little chuckle out of the music video too!
Lyrics wise it possibly reminds me of “A Well Respected Man” by the Kinks(?) But haven’t heard that in a while so this is going off of memory!
