Everybody Else is a Los Angeles-based power-pop duo consisting of Carrick Moore Gerety and Austin James Williams. Formed in 2002, the band represents a bridge between the classic British Invasion songwriting of the 1960s and the polished indie-rock aesthetic of the 2000s.
Their name, a nod to The Kinks, signals their deep reverence for melodic craftsmanship. Their 2007 self-titled debut on The Militia Group garnered significant critical praise for its tight arrangements and infectious hooks, positioning them alongside peers like The Push Kings and Tinted Windows. After a period of independence, they successfully utilized early crowdfunding via Kickstarter to produce their 2011 follow-up, Wanderlust, which showcased a more expansive, travel-inspired sound while maintaining their signature harmonic density. Critically, they are viewed as 'musician's musicians' within the power-pop community, respected for their ability to balance sugary melodies with sophisticated chord changes and high-energy performances.
