Picking up where early singles 'Totally Bone' and EP 'Sissy Hits' left off, Hey Everyone is a long player of more-of-the-same, high-octane, well-conceived-and-executed, garagy, DIY indie-rock.The stress is on DIY and rock. The LP houses the majority of 'Sissy Hits' and adds seven new numbers to the party to justify your cash. And it is a party. The listener is never under the impression that these improbably named upstarts are doing anything other than enjoying themselves. The sound is never laboured, nor hackneyed. They are unto themselves, and all the more glorious because of it.
Album opener 'Watch This!' is gleefully shouty and crashing, 'The Greater Than Symbol And The Hash' is a tongue-in-cheek experiment in restraint until it breaks into frenetic shredding amid a break-neck tempo change. 'Totally Bone' is still tight and fresh, surpassing anyone's RDA for feedback within the first minute. Their two drummers frequently bring the noise. Production duty has been given to Machine, he of Lamb Of God twiddling, and it shows. There is so much energy in here that the album practically comes with a circle pit thrown in.
It's difficult to make comparison, perhaps maybe there could be something in condensing Les Savy Fav's live show onto disk, and replacing Tim Harrington with some sugar-rush adolescent? At times they recall art brat ensembles such as Be Your Own Pet or Help She Can't Swim. The former are too bubblegumly smug for useful comparison however and the latter too esoteric. Dananananaykroyd are fairly one off in today's market. And in so much as that oxymoron works, so do they. Hey Everyone announces their arrival in some style and like the prize fighters on the cover of Sissy Hits, there is not an ounce of flab on it.
