members strong, The Everymen are reminiscent of <strong>The E Street Band<\/strong>\u00a0in stature, <strong>Rocket From The Crypt<\/strong> in searing energy, <strong>Meat Loaf<\/strong> in production and <strong>The Replacements<\/strong> in boozy, backroom party vibes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As a follow-up to their first full length release\u00a0<em>New Jersey Hardcore<\/em>, the band released their second full length album and sixth release overall titled\u00a0<em>Givin\u2019 Up On Free Jazz\u00a0<\/em>in May 2014 via the <strong>Ernest Jenning Record Co.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">However, where\u00a0<em>New Jersey Hardcore\u00a0<\/em>was the work of one man flanked by occasional co-conspirators,\u00a0<em>Free Jazz\u00a0<\/em>is the fully formed execution of a band just hitting its stride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">From modern takes on girl group send ups (\u201cFingers Crossed\u201d) to soaring, Springsteen-esque walls of sound (\u201cA Girl Named Lou Pt. 2\u201d), full throttle odes to eternal love (\u201cSpain\u201d) and hushed, piano bar intimacy (\u201cIzzy\u201d), and four on the floor, windows down stompers (\u201cAnother Thing To Lose\u201d)\u00a0<em>Givin\u2019 Up On Free Jazz\u00a0<\/em>is an album as varied as it is focused all while sounding singularly Everymen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Everymen and <strong>Amigo<\/strong> will be live at <strong>The Blind Pig<\/strong> Saturday, March
