Everything Sucks is not your typical Long Island indie act. So far from it, actually, they should really consider relocation. For what now seems like an eternity, Long Island has become a wasteland for bad emo bands (as if there were ever any good emo bands). But what makes Everything Sucks a giant step in a new direction is their respect for the roots of the oft-misinterpreted genre of punk rock.
Embracing the virtues of some of the greatest peaks that punk rock has ever witnessed, Everything Sucks - without a shadow of a doubt - would have fit like a glove in the early days of Dischord Records had this young quartet not been born too late. Everything about the band screams, literally, vintage D.C. - from their socially conscious lyrics to their intimate stage performances. Their latest E.P. was actually, physically recorded in frontman Matt Brennan's garage. And just in case you're not sold on their earnest roots, they've been known to cover Springsteen and The Replacements in their live show. If Everything Sucks keeps it up, they'll be forced to change their name to Everything Sucks But Us.
