After some low key appearances at SxSw 2009 to try out new songs and ideas Evaline are now firmly back, with a full quota of startling tracks, playing their unrivalled rock songs using layered sounds, intense guitars and swooning vocals. Think Radiohead and add in a helping of Jane’s Addiction.
Fresh out of school in Turlock, Central California, Evaline’s earliest recordings found their way to The Used’s Quinn Allman who produced the EP: Postpartum Modesty, A Portrait of Skin – released on Maverick in 2006. This was followed by two Warped Tours and a Taste of Chaos tour, which quickly attracted a loyal and ardent fan base in USA.
Now in their early twenties Evaline are Richard Perry, (Vocals, Cello and keys) Dominic DiCiano (Guitar), Steven Pedersen (Bass), Christian Lewis (Guitar) and the Petersen brothers Greg (drums) and Dan (guitar).
In October 2009 the band recorded a stack of new songs for their forthcoming debut album in the UK with Dan Austin (Doves, Cherry Ghost, QOTSA , People in Planes), which will bring their thundering guitars and unique melodies to many more. Recording was followed by a couple of shows in London, supporting Silver Sun Pickups before returning to California.
The first fruits of their labour can be heard in the form of the epic seven minute track ‘Beneath the Fire’, which can be downloaded for free at link
The band are currently filming a video for Beneth The Fire and kindly provided us with this teaser…
