Release Notes:
'Everyone Loves You' is the first single to be lifted off
Eureka Machine's full length debut 'Do Or Die.'
A power pop rollercoaster of rock and roll riffs and stomping
drumbeats, topped off with euphoric pop vocals, 'Everyone
Loves You' successfully takes the rock and roll swagger of
old, and slathers it in a pop gloss. Boasting a perfect,
pre-chorus sugar rush of gleaming, pop-punk riffs, Eureka
Machines then sweep the listener into a stop-start, shout
along chorus.
'Everyone Loves You' is a pop-music shiny rock song that will
undoubtedly find a home as many a rock fan's latest guilty
pleasure.
The first of three B-sides, 'The Bigger They Are, The Harder
They Fall's stylishly plodding verses are given a much-needed
edge thanks to some echoey slide-guitar. This acts as a vital
hook, and prevents Eureka Machines from sounding like they're
merely treading water until the chorus kicks in. And when that
chorus does kick in, it's predictably massive, with walls of
gleaming riffs and an interestingly warbly,
Mediterranean-tinged riff razoring across the polished noise.
'The Bigger They Are...' builds to a dramatic bridge of
hammering drumbeats and a rush of jangly guitars that may
drown out some of Chris Catalyst's vocals, but will sweep you
along all the same.
'The Bigger They Are...' feels slightly more considered than
'Everyone Loves You,' but overall it's another slice of guilty
pleasure guitar pop.
The live acoustic version of 'The Story of My Life' is a
clever inclusion; not only is it a great song, but it dispels
any notion that Eureka Machines are studio gloss over
substance. 'The Story of My Life' is a tambourine-studded,
summery sing along track, with an underlying pulse of bass
lending it extra weight. The stripped-down arrangement gives
the lyrics a rare chance to shine, and the simple, everyman
chorus of "it can't get any worse" is sure to touch a nerve
and get audiences singing along.
'Scream Eureka' is another live track, this time lifted from
BBC Introducing. The darker, bass-driven verses and
surprisingly punk-sounding choruses, build to a furious
climax. Perhaps it's due to the 'live' element, but 'Scream
Eureka' sounds more edgy and less pop than the other two,
non-acoustic tracks on show here.
On the negative side, 'Scream Eureka' does have an irritating
tendency to break off for bouts of harmonised gang vocals and,
while Eureka Machine's ability to sing in perfect unison is
impressive, it does sound pretty cheesy.
Eureka Machine's 'Everyone Loves You' release is a shrewd
collection of tracks. From the instant, poppy familiarity of
'Everyone Loves You,' and 'The Bigger They Are...' to the
understated, straight-faced acoustic of 'The Story of My Life'
and the punkier 'Scream Eureka,' this release has something
for everyone. If you haven't yet picked up their debut
full-length 'Do Or Die,' then 'Everyone Loves You' is the
perfect introduction to Leeds'
