Band from Adelaide active 1985-1989 as The Every Brothers then The Everys. <br>In 1984, songwriters Greg Williams and Terry Bradford started writing songs together. In 1986, those first songs were made into a mini-album called 'Picks and Pens', released by the legendary South Australian independent label Greasy Pop Records.
By then they were playing regularly with bassist Robyn Habel. The group established its sound - based on strong harmony singing, power acoustic guitars and booming double bass - playing without amplifiers or microphones in small bars and clubs around Adelaide.
They won a strong local following and began touring regularly to Melbourne, where 3RRR was playing their music. Encouraged by the reaction to their stripped-down acoustic sound, The Everys, now joined by drummer Andrew Mills, recorded new songs in 1987.
One of these was a song with big harmonies which captured the group's back-to-basics energy. 'This Town' soon attracted major label attention. Polygram Records signed the band, sight unseen, and released the song as a single, unchanged.
By March 1988, This town cracked the Top 20 of SA-FM's chart and nudged the national charts at #75. In between touring, a new single 'Paved With Gold' was released while the group recorded an album 'Everyone' in Melbourne during June.
Released early in February 1989, the album broadened their acoustic sound while still keeping the songs and performances right up front. However, despite good reviews, the band broke up.<br><br>
