Here Comes Everybody

About Me

Here Comes Everybody was conceived by founding members Michael Jarmer and René Ormae-Jarmer in 1986 and has been rocking the greater Portland metro area and the Northwest United States of these Americas ever since. From its new wave progressive rock beginnings, Here Comes Everybody has evolved over the years, moving freely in and out of various configurations and genres, but sticking the entire time to its greatest passion and strength: the memorable and delicious modern pop song.The 21st century finds Michael and René crafting mostly acoustic piano rock and performing as a trio: drums, bass, keyboards and a whole lot of singing.

Sounds Like: It's awkward comparing HCE to other bands, so here's a description of the music: It's piano, bass, drums, male lead vocal with female back-up vocals. It's melodic, rhythmically interesting pop. Lyrics have ideas in them. Songs tend to make comments about philosophic questions of an existential nature, but they're not too brainy. It's toe-tapping smart stuff. Sometimes funny. Always executed with a good deal of musical competence and a high regard for a sweet sounding recording.

Type of Label: Indie
