What
do you get when three super cute brothers from New Zealand (by
way of Australia) form a band? The cool rock sounds of Evermore
and their debut album Dreams, which landed in Canada
this past summer. The Hume brothers—Dann, Jon, and Peter—took
time out of their hectic schedule to sit down and chat about
Dreams and Real Life, their sophomore disc,
which lands in Canada at the beginning of 2007. According to
Jon, the band’s main songwriter, while Dreams
is more of an atmospheric album, Real Life is more about each
individual song. “They’re quite different, but complementary,”
he says. And how do three brothers manage to work and play together?
“People say, ‘I can’t believe that you’re
in a band with your brothers,’ and I’m like, ‘I
can’t believe that you’re in a band with random
people,’” jokes Dann. “We’re all really
different people, so we don’t really clash a lot,”
adds Jon.
The
Band: The Kiwi band of brothers, Evermore, who count
The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, the Police, and The Who
(their dad’s fave band) as major influences.
Right now: After putting the finishing touches
on their second album, Evermore came to North America to promote
their first album. (Confusing, yes, but that’s the music
industry for ya!)
Coming up: Unfortunately, we have to wait until
January to enjoy Real Life (Evermore fans overseas
get to hear it first). For now, dig into the sweet sounds of
Dreams, the boys’ first album.
