Portland, Oregon, USA (1992 – 2003, 2004 – present)
Everclear is a rock band formed in Portland, Oregon, USA, in 1992. For most of its existence, Everclear consisted of Art Alexakis (b. 12 April 1962, Los Angeles, California, USA; vocals, guitar), Craig Montoya (b. 14 September 1970; bass, vocals) and Greg Eklund (b. 18 April 1970; drums). Eklund replaced original drummer Scott Cuthbert in 1994. Montoya and Eklund departed the band in 2003, but Alexakis has continued performing as Everclear with a new lineup.
After a solo tour in the fall of 2003, Alexakis decided to continue with Everclear, organizing a new band that made its debut in March of 2004. The new lineup consisted of bass player Sam Hudson, guitarist Dave French, and drummer Eric Bretl. In the summer of 2004, the band added keyboard player Josh Crawley, and swapped Bretl for former Everclear drum tech Brett Snyder. The new lineup released its first recording, a cover of Woody Guthrie’sThis Land Is Your Land, that summer. A self-released EP of performances recorded for XM Satellite Radio called Closure was given out at shows in the fall of 2004.
Free of a major label, Alexakis spent the ensuing year and half slowly recording material for a new Everclear release. He admitted that the time after the breakup of the original lineup served as a “wake up call”, during which he suffered his third divorce and a filing for bankruptcy. Alexakis announced the completion of the album in early 2006,titled Welcome To The Drama Club. The new band is now on Eleven Seven Music.

Hi guys, I'm a Everclear fan (at least till Slow Motion Daydream) and today my player was on shuffle and I remembered the good Colorfinger record. I came here to check things out and saw a lot of you asking for it, tried to find a link on the web and couldn't, so I uploaded my 128k version of the album. I guess we can share the link everywhere, cause the album isn't available anywhere. I used a link protector to keep it online as much as we can, enjoy :) Maybe all of you already have it, but if you don't have yet... here it is: http://adf.ly/3gios

Everclear is way better than grunge. They are power pop. Plus Art actually whines about something, rather than the typical Nirvanaesque much ado about nothing. Just saw them a few weeks ago and everyone in the audience was singing every lyric to these wordy songs, something I rarely see. There is a unique power to the best of Everclear.

"Grunge doesn't deserve to be associated with the greatness that is Everclear." Reverse first and last words and it means just as much.
