Here are a few select words applied to this young and talented group:
Deep
Contemplative
Piano-driven
But there’s more. Everfound, based in Denver, Colorado, offers comfortable pace with its highly popular “She Said.” Listeners might think of other pop groups and “boy bands” when they are first exposed to the group, but as one reviewer writes, they are a bit more than “fabricated” and “mass market.” The music comes from a deeper place. Some of this depth can be attributed to the fact that band members are part of the Odnoralov family that left Russia years ago due to “religious and political persecution.”
The rhythm section of Yan (drums) and Larry (bass) provide a nice foundation for the songwriting of Ruslan and vocals of Nikita. Ruslan, the oldest of the members, uses the piano to give vent to his emotions and musical “thoughts.” The younger Nikita offers vocal clarity and phrasing beyond his 18 years. “Lie Detector” sounds so innocent and “poppy” but there’s a larger message here that only needs a few years to become serious social commentary.
A quote from Ruslan will be very helpful for those trying to understand where these young musicians are coming from. “We want our music to reflect the ragged edges of our times.” Some listeners have found “Bring Me Back” to be enthralling. Have a listen to Colorful Alibis and Scandalous Smiles and be your own judge.

I go to Westminster High in Westminster, Colorado and I’m doing an I- Search paper for my American Literature class about getting into the music industry and I was wondering if Everfound could answer my interview questions. I’m really interested into getting into the music business myself and this would really help so I could learn some good suggestions. I would very much appreciate it. The questions are below.
1) What first inspired you about music? Did a band or family/friend inspire you? A band?
2)What age did your interest start? Is there a story behind it, and if yes what was it?
3) What’s a few good tips that you can tell me about forming a band?
4) Approximately, how much money did it take to start your band?
5) Where did you first perform? Did it take you awhile to get your first show? And what steps led you to your first show?
6) Ten years from now, where do you see yourself? Do you think you’ll remain in the band or no?
7) Did you get signed? If yes, then how did you get there? If no, what types of steps are you taking to getting signed?
8)Any last tips, suggestions, advice, comments, or words?
Thank you for your time.
