Look, this should be the shortest thing I’ve ever written in this space: “If you want to see a really good rock n’ roll show, go check out The Everymen kick off their summer tour at the Saint this Wednesday.” Short and sweet. That should be it. But rock n’ roll? Can I say that? Is that even a thing anymore? Didn’t it die at some point in the ’90s and anything that’s resembled it since falls under the banner of “alternative?”
I don’t know. But if rock ‘n’ roll is still a thing, The Everymen are doing it. Their latest release Givin’ Up On Free Jazz (which you can listen to here or buy on vinyl here) dives in headfirst with tracks like “Ain’t Good Enough For You” and “Spain.”
The album also shows off their soulful side with “A Thousand Miles” and “Izzy,” a gear they’ve hinted at in live performances when covering “I Shall Be Released.” And speaking of covers, it’s worth mentioning that during this time of year an increasingly alarming amount of Jersey Shore clubs are prone to throw as many cover bands at you as possible, to lure in people who’d rather sing along to dusty, old Journey hits and Aqua-Net-crusted Bon Jovi anthems.
So, per chance that’s not your thing, here is your opportunity to kick off summer in one of the best Jersey Shore clubs, listening to a local band blow the doors off the place before they hit the road.
