Evergreen

90’s emo band

Evergreen was a Southern California underground band from the early-to-mid 1990s.

They had several releases over their lifespan, including two 7»s, a split 7» with Los Angeles hardcore/screamo band Still Life, and a much sought 12», most of which was released on Anomaly Records. They still have a 7» out on San Diego’s Gravity Records. They are notorious amongst record collectors due to the rarity of the «7 Songs» LP (Anomaly Records).

Band members include Aaron Calvert (cousin of Todd Calvert, drummer/percussionist of Gertie Fox) on guitar (now in Winfred E. Eye), Andy Ward on bass (also of Antioch Arrow), and Jason Boesel on drums (now in Rilo Kiley).

The LA Evergreen was active at the same time another band called Evergreen was active in Louisville, Ky. This Evergreen featured Britt Walford (drummer in Squirrel Bait, Slint, the Breeders, and the For Carnation among others). They released one 7» (1994) and one LP/CD (1995) (both on Hi-Ball). The LP was later reissued by Temporary Residence Records in 2005. The LP was recorded by future LCD Soundsystem and DFA creator/producer James Murphy.
