After a European sojourn, Everyone Everywhere is back home celebrating the release of their 2nd full-length eponymous album tonight at the Barbary. On their latest LP, the quartet refines their sound while still exhibiting the familiar qualities that endear their music to the masses – lyrics that reflect the ongoing struggle between the monologue inside our heads and the reality we live. Searching for answers and responding with bass lines that create anticipation, guitar riffs that rev up your mind, and percussion that smacks you right in face. Everyone Everywhere takes their personal cards and lays them on the table for all to see, while rocking out in the process. Tonight, they will be selling badass coffee mugs that will only be available in a limited quantity (50). Also joining in on the fun will be the heavy-handed psych-garage rock of Bandname as well as raw indie punkers Glocca Morra. The Barbary, 951 Frankford Ave., 6pm, $10, All Ages – Michael Colavita
