Release Notes:

Produced by Spongetones leader Jaime Hoover, the
classic refrains of The Beatles ring crystal clear
all over The Everyday Things` awe-inspiring debut,
"Lighten Up, Francis". Clear, readily identifiable
echoes of timeless bands like The Plimsouls, The
Beat(Paul Collins), The Romantics and 20/20 are
enough reason to drop everything right now and
listen to the soundbites below. But remember the
movie "That Thing You Do" and those insanely
catching numbers The Wonders, the fictional
Beatles-inspired mop top band, were playing? Well,
praise be to the pop heavens, The Everyday Things
remind us The Wonder, as well as Barry And The
Remains and The Zombies(and, yes...The Spongetones`
"Beat And Torn"). This British-Invasion power pop
done as preciously and gloriously as can be done,
pop fans.

We live to encounter hard-driving punchy and sweet
crunchy power pop like this and we know you do, too.
Why are you here, right? There`s a lot to listen and
check the proof of the pudding of words here. We
believe in letting music do the talking and put them
out there for you. Witness the trumped up, ringing
guitar melodies echoing gorgeously endlessly in the
music-mind. The rich, always challenging and
non-clichd production from Jaime Hoover. But if that
does not put The Everyday Things in the winner`s
circle, live with the singing. The plaintive,
classic pop stylings of lead singer Rory Odani are a
rare treasure, in a all-digital world where
everyone`s uncle and second cousin are releasing
records thinking they can sing well enough to carry
an album. Odani and co-band leader Troy Paterson
have created a classic, classic indie power pop
album. Not only one of the finest you`ll hear this
year, but we`ll put forth: the decade.
