Since signing to Scruffy Bird Management in 2008, Manchester bred Everything Everything have gone from strength to strength. The band’s debut single, ‘Suffragette Suffragette’ (XL/Salvia) received heavy rotation at national radio and their self-made video debuted at number

5 on the MTV2 chart.

Touring the UK and releasing a second single in 2009, they made the longlist for the BBC’s ‘Sound of 2010′ poll, going on to sign a deal with legendary label Geffen (John Lennon/Joni Mitchell/Nirvana) that year.

Their debut album, entitled ‘Man Alive’, was released on the 30th of August 2010 and entered at number 17 on the album chart. The record immediately garnered fervent critical acclaim, with four and five star reviews across the board, picking up some unlikely fans along the way in the shape of fellow northerners Take That. There was also strong support from national radio with ‘My Kz Ur Bf’, ‘Photoshop Handsome’, and ‘Schoolin” all being playlisted across BBC Radio 1, 6Music, and XFM.

Everything Everything enter 2011 on the back of a successful debut and an ever growing reputation for spellbinding live performances.
