The music world is unfolding a new chapter of sound with the rock-heavy foursome, EVERYLASTHING. Crashing drums and seductive rhythms are simply the teaser to EVERYLASTHING's insatiable sound. Holding true to a classic-rock strong suit of Cantrell-esque vocals, front man Ben Bunker's guided story telling haunts just above the surface of the untimely melodies and precise riffs that consume the six incandescent tunes of the band's debut EP Unfolding.
Lyrically, Bunker journals the band's evolution and progress both personally and professionally on the track "Mind Over Matter." Simplifying the undeniable passion and focus of the band, the song details strength, inspiration and dedication leaving the listener with a feeling of empowerment. "Better Days" and "Empty Hands" both reminisce on more elusive memories for Bunker, including his actions and the repercussive emotions that follow. Collectively, all of the tracks speak of EVERYLASTHING'S aggressive rise without harboring any negative thoughts. Instead, the band's obsession with growth and success gives them the ability to inspire with each note as they personally aspire to take their sound to the next level.
With close to ten years between them, Ben Bunker (vocals/lead guitar), Jason Walters (guitar), and James Herman (drums/vocals), have been creating music since their early teen years. First pursuing the Kansas-based Gryn, the band re-located to Dallas, TX for bigger possibilities in a better market. Gryn successfully toured through the midwest, maintaining a solid fan base and constantly building a deafening buzz. 3 years together in Texas and a few brushes with greatness ending in disappointment caused for Gryn to disband in 2001 while the members explored various other musical entities. Having yet to quench their thirst to be bigger and better than anything they'd yet to pursue, Bunker, Walters, and Herman, founded EVERYLASTHING in 2002. The band released their debut EP Unfolding in 2003 and spent the next year working hard refining their sound while carving a niche in the Dallas music scene. Brian Pucci assumed the role of bass guitarist in 2005 and limitless creativity began to surge through the veins of the ambitious foursome.
With an established following already set throughout the Midwest, EVERYLASTHING has easily risen above the many 'local' artists in Dallas. Thanks to their healthy work ethic and awe-inspiring talent they have accomplished this feat in a very short time. The band's name itself signifies the efforts of each individual member who has vowed to give their all to the band. This project being both the most intense and well received that any of them have ever pursued. Their hard work is duly noted onstage as their tight, professional sets are packed with prime musicianship and an intimate, piercing presence.
EVERYLASTHING has shared the stage with many national acts including: Drowning Pool, Mudvayne, Earshot, Shinedown, RA, Soil, and Tantric.
EVERYLASTHING has just completed their new CD "Burning Garden," and it is now available for purchase at EveryLasThing.com .
