Away with the Lights!








This is a brilliant work of art. I've never loved We Were Evergreen more. Once in a while there's a band like this that emerges, whose music is so exciting that it challenges one lyrically & artistically, and We Were Evergreen is one of those bands. What's even more exciting is that after five years of touring & the release of several EPs, We Were Evergreen is finally recording a full-length album this spring! I couldn't be more excited.

As an unsigned indie band though, Michael, Fabienne & William need loads of help from fans. And now it's possible. It's pretty amazing to me, how lesser-known artistes can make use of this age of technology to create art music, like how Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls managed to raise over a million dollars in a month for her first solo record. It's so easy for musicians like these to just dissolve or disappear altogether due to the lack of funding, and I believe that there's a certain responsibility that music lovers have to ensure that this never happens, particularly to the bands that we love & that inspire us.

Through this self-started kickstarter campaign, you can donate as little as one pound to help fund We Were Evergreen's recording as well as get really wicked band merchandise such as autographed EPs & posters. Great deal, aint it? Look at it this way: a couple dollars is really a small investment for the great music that lies ahead :)
