The Everyday Visuals is a group of five young gentlemen playing rock music with independent spirit. The current line up was formed in the spring of 2006:
Christopher Pappas (Vocals, guitar, keyboards) has an irrational fear of being a passenger in a fast moving car and cries every time he hears the Durfle Requiem.
Eli Scheer (Guitar, vocals, keyboards) has a family member in every U.S. time zone and likes to meet people with a good story to tell.
Joseph Seiders (Drums, vocals, keyboards) should eat more vegetables and panics when he feels his heart beating.
Chris Zembower (Moral support, confidant) is a friend.
Kyle Fredrickson (Guitar, keyboards) is frequently late and at age 16 hid the first electric guitar he bought from his mother for three months.
PRESS and PRAISES
WE ARE NOMINATED IN THE 2009 WFNX/Phoenix BEST MUSIC POLL! VOTE FOR US!!! (Best Act, Best Album, Best Male Vocalist, FYE Readers Choice)
We just were awarded "Best Rock Band" in The Improper Bostonian's Best Of issue. Thank you.
Here are some other kind things people have said:
"...rapture; pop ecstasy suspended in suddenly rarified air...melodic rock music as deceptively intricate as it is transparently accessible, stirred with just the right admixture of cheeky irreverence and soulful sincerity." - The Boston Globe
"Clearly, this band doesn’t manufacture song after song with the same pop formula – they allow the songs to go where they want…The record is full of songs born out of excitement and pure idea-driven joy." - Pen's Eye View
""The Everyday Visuals craft soothing, coffeehouse pop that would put a smile on even the most jaded of indie-snobs." - Drum! Magazine
"This album is one that shouldn't be passed on. It's a great example of classic pop music with meaning." - Performer Magazine
"Harmony rich Boston popsters with more hooks than a Gorton's Fish market." -CMJ
"Solid pop music with beautiful melodies over shimmering musical arrangements."
-Consequence of Sound
"The band has seamlessly melded their airy harmonies while retaining their subtle pop songs into a S/T full-length perfect for a hazy summer drive."
-Weekly Dig
"...a solid album of good, rich music."
-The Aquarian [Grade: B]
""This band is quite adept at harmonies and crafting a wall of sound that would make Brian Wilson and Phil Spector quake in their boots."
-Campus Circle
"The band combines indie, pop, heavy guitar, folk, Beach Boys-esque harmonies, effervescent vocals. ...the result of these different elements is indeed a sound that offers something for everyone without sounding contrived or unoriginal." - RocknRoll Boston
"We're addicted to this local band's hooked-filled tunes and glorious harmonies."
-Boston Magazine
"...their breezy alt/pop is chorus-driven in the best way, catchy and never denying a satisfying release." - The Portland Phoenix
"The Everyday Visuals have the makings of serious rock gods among mere rock men...The band just clicks and you can’t help but want to join them, dance upon (read: worship) the very ground before them." - WERS (88.9 FM) VIDEOS

The Everyday Visuals are the Best New Band in New Hampshire
America’s 50* Best New Bands The Boston Phoenix presents its annual state-by-state search for the coolest music in the United States of Awesome
BOSTON, MASS — For the second year in a row, to celebrate July 4th, the Boston Phoenix (thePhoenix.com) has named the best new band in each of the 50 states.
Bands on this year’s list range from the blisteringly fast punk of Arizona’s Shark Pants to the precision pop of Illinois’s Maps and Atlases, from the bizarre drunkcore of Alaska’s Stubby’s Crack Co. to the achingly gorgeous Americana of Rhode Island’s Low Anthem.
“If we’ve learned anything from this project, it’s that there are scores of pulsing, vibrant scenes outside of New York, Los Angeles, and Chapel Hill,” says Phoenix editor Lance Gould. “It’s proof positive that creative, arresting, and just plain weird music is thriving from Bangor to Boise.”
“We New England types tend to live in fear of the rest of the country,” says Michael Brodeur, Phoenix music editor. “This list provides comforting proof that there are good bands just about everywhere. Although — full disclosure — we didn’t have the budget to check out Guam.”
To be clear, by “new,” we really mean “emerging” (just try fitting that clumsy word into a headline). Thus, “new” band actually means a band that, whether they just formed or have been slogging in the clubs for a few years, is poised to breakout for indie success.
W drew from as many genres as possible — we’ve got metal, rap, electronic, indie-pop, art-punk, Americana and whatever the hell New York’s Capillary Action counts as. We’ve also got a couple of solo artists masquerading as bands (IN, VT) and just plain soloists (FL, MD, TN, SC, MS). (* We even threw in a 51st band for Washington, DC.)

Hey, my album is just about finished, but I just need a LITTLE help from everyone to be able to release this thing. The great people @ ChipIn have allowed me to make my own fundraiser to help me release my double album "Ryan/Hammer". All I ask is that you donate $1 to my ChipIn fund by pasting the link above and going through the easy (and secure) process. No catch, no reoccurring fees or anything, just you supporting my dream to release an album physically with a full color album cover and a UPC code :) My Mom was really upset when she found out my first album was only going to be sold digitally so if you don't do it for me, give $1 so my Mom can hold my album in her hands and be proud of her son.
Thanks so much, it really means a lot to me. If you think your friends might want to give, please pass on the link, my goal is to raise $3000 by my birthday, August 26 because it would be the best gift ever to achieve that :)

P.S. Free download of my song Take It Slow below just to show how much I really appreciate your support
