Everclear
Glorious

unsigned

WE SAY

For us, Everclear are one of the great American rock bands of the last ten years, and one who should be much bigger in Britain. They recently did something very unusual and reached the end of their deal with a US major (Capitol). And then they did something that happens quite a lot when bands get to the end of their contracts – they made their best track for ages. Glorious indeed. They'll be snapped up soon but will they go the major route again or something more interesting?
