Information AboutEvermore (band) |
Evermore are a Rock band from New Zealand . The band consists of the Hume brothers – Jon (guitar, vocals), Peter (keyboards, bass, piano, vocals) and Dann (drums, vocals). The band have released two Platinum-selling Album s, '' Dreams '' (2004) and '' Real Life '' (2006), as well as seven hit singles. HISTORY Background Jon Hume, the eldest, was born in Australia , but Peter and Dann Hume were born in New Zealand , and all brothers were raised and homeschooled in Feilding, New Zealand . The band cites their parents' music collection – consisting of staples such as The Who , Led Zeppelin , Bob Dylan and The Kinks – as being among their music influences. The name Evermore comes from the Led Zeppelin song " The Battle Of Evermore " and a B-side by The Chills simply called "Evermore". Rise to fame (2000–2003) In 2000 , together with ex-band member and school-mate Richard Higham, the band scored top marks at Rockquest , a New Zealand high school band competition.1 The prize they received went toward establishing and funding their own studio, Red Sky Studio. Their debut single, "Slipping Away", earned them some attention when it was put on high rotation on the alternative Radio station Triple J . Their first EP, ''Oil and Water'', was released in April 2003 and coincided with their Triple J -backed tour of Australia with The Panics . This was closely followed in September 2003 by their second EP, ''My Own Way'', which they toured with American band Brad . In August 2003 Evermore were the winners of a promotion on the ZM Radio Station called Project NZM. Project NZM was promotion designed to give a small band more awareness through airplay on the ZM network and advertising as well as access to live play on the radio station. This promotion helped Evermore with the popularity of their single "It's Too Late". Dreams (2003–2006)
