Everfound Is An Amazing Find

I love it when a debut captures my attention as strongly as Everfound's have. It's rare to see so much passion poured from a new band and speaks to the fact that Everfound is not as new as we think. The brothers have been playing music together for years in their native Russia, but everything has led them to this moment stateside.
Everfound is a blend of electronic rock led by driving drum beats that pulse each chorus home. Lead singer, Nikita, is instantly one of the best voices in the industry with an amazing range and depth of passion in his vocals that forces you to hang on every word. It feels that so many of the lyrics are sung with such a heavy urgency. Just a touch heavier and we'd be at a full-blown scream. It's that intense but still very melodic and controlled.
The lead singles, "Never Beyond Repair" and "God Of the Impossible" are designed for repetitive play on radio, but they don't represent the album as a whole. These guys have so much more to offer than just another hit song and truly have the ability to redefine the produced template that we hear dominate the charts today.
Take, for example, "Take This City," the best song on the album and, if and when the label gets around to releasing it to radio, will be one of the biggest hits of the year. (That's called "going out on a limb" kids, but I'm that confident in this track.) This song is instantly singable, yet it's unlike anything on radio today. "Count the Stars," "Hallelujah" and "Torch" follow the same footprint. This band is so much more than a standard CCM hit single, and that's why we'll be hearing amazing music from Everfound for many years to come.
Closing Thoughts:
The world of Christian Music is better off with bands like Everfound coming onto the scene. They push boundaries, try new sounds with amazing results, and love people around them like crazy while encouraging us all to do the same.
