The band\u2019s first full-length \u2018<em>A Ticket To The Moon\u2019 <\/em>will definitely launch them into the arena with its hard-edged dramatic take on the alternative rock genre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Girl fronted bands never seem get the recognition they deserve and somehow always fall under the \u201canother Hayley Williams\u201d category. This really is a shame, because <strong>Everlyn\u2019s<\/strong> Karol Arribas shakes up your expectations of what a girl vocalist is capable of, bringing a feminine yet very strong voice with a tough edge right away on the first track \u2018<em>What Goes Around\u2019.<\/em><\/span><em><!-- more --><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Her voice keeps this band fresh and gives them a whole different sound that is certainly unexpected and hard to find. \u2018<em>Dreams Are For Those Who Sleep\u2019 <\/em>toes the line of pop punk but manages to retain enough edge, and \u2018<em>Analogies\u2019 <\/em>is a hard-hitting track with brooding, angry tones that really shows off the band\u2019s talent at vocal and musical arrangements and knack for injecting emotions. <em>\u2018It\u2019s Not Me, It\u2019s You,\u2019 <\/em>is a little sexy, sultry track with added dimension with backing vocals from guitarist Mario Ba<\/span><span>\u00f1<\/span><span>os.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong><span>Everlyn <\/span><\/strong><span>shines in these hard rocking moments, using Arribas\u2019 strong, clear vocals to contrast with complicated guitar riffs, while still showing restraint. \u2018<em>Vortex\u2019 <\/em>is the perfect example of that restraint, using really simple guitars that give it an acoustic vibe, accompanying this with a heart-beat like bass drum and some background snaps. While simple, the song somehow manages to stand out and maintain a darker side.<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>While \u2018<em>A Ticket To The Moon\u2019 <\/em>is able to be more of a rock album than a pop one, the heavily pop tracks seem to be the weaker songs in the album. \u2018<em>Anything But Easy\u2019<\/em> ends up sounding cheesy and overdone, especially in contrast. \u2018<em>Time To Change,\u2019 <\/em>a song Coca-Cola chose to use in a commercial campaign, is very commercial and not particularly interesting, and the same goes for \u2018<em>Pointless Road.\u2019 <\/em>\u00a0These middle-of-the-album tracks blend together and get lost, and it feels like the band is trying a bit too hard to be accessible.\u00a0<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Despite these missteps, <strong>Everlyn<\/strong> delivers a very strong debut album. \u2018<em>A Ticket To The Moon\u2019 <\/em>is easy to listen to and immediately likeable, even if you\u2019re not a fan of female vocalists. They have enough talent with a unique sound to carry them overseas and gain a following in the U.S. and the UK, and it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see them touring in full force very soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>4\/5<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span><em>&lsquo;A Ticket To The Moon&rsquo;<\/em> by <strong>Everlyn<\/strong> is out on the 26th February on BMG.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Everlyn<\/strong> links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Everlynband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/everlynband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Words by Jenny Gagas (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jenny_herself\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Jenny_herself<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madrid-based rock band Everlyn has been trying their best to garner international attention, fighting to break stereotypes and overcome the difficulties of being a girl-fronted Spanish rock band.
