Annabel (in Alternative Press this month!)

About Me


Not many bands can measure up to that beautiful first sound...that first kiss as the guitars ring out and drums kick in. It is that indescribable feeling which separates bands we like from bands we LOVE. The bands we truly fall for are able to reproduce that magical experience time and time again. Annabel have recreated and added to that precious moment in time with Each And Everyone. Expectations are exceeded and exhilaration continues.
Each And Everyone provides a stunning portrait of growth. Following up the success of their self-released EP, Now That We're Alive, Annabel seize the momentum with their debut full-length. The album, released on Michigan upstart label Count Your Lucky Stars, delivers on the promises and potential of Annabel's previous work. Annabel’s endearing tale of existence and finding your own singular path through life is undeniably relatable. Youthful exuberance gives way to thoughtful maturity but Each And Everyone never lacks the intoxicating energy of Annabel's past work. In fact the album is noticeably more aggressive as the infectious melodies of the band have become razor sharp. Combining the instrumental dynamics of post rock with driving indie pop gives the band a unique charm. Each And Everyone is a supremely confident effort that displays a band on the verge of greatness.

"One of the best examples of smart pop to fall across my desk in quite sometime." - John-Michael Bond, Mammoth Press
"An ability to craft almost perfect pop-songs…There is something honest and pure about Annabel that comes across as plain as day." - Stefan, Lucky 13 Zine
"Comparing Annabel to any one band or sound is challenging because such a comparison may not exist…Annabel have the cojones to stand with some of the powerhouses in indie and post-rock." - Corey Schmidt, Pastepunk
"Major league indie rock. Full of atmosphere, quality song writing and goodness…Each track packs in driving, spiraling shoegaze guitars with vocals hidden behind the ever so pleasant sounds that they deliver." - Andy Malcolm, Collective Zine
"Infectious indie-pop tunes with sharp melodies led by shimmering guitar." - Rich Duncan, Absolute Punk
"There is a spirit and an energy in the music that prompts one to smile for no good reason. This band represents that which is meaningful in pop music." - S.G.R.V., Feminist Review
