Sum Ever After

Sum Ever After has one goal in mind, and that is to draw you into their musical world. In this industry most often focused on image and money, Sum Ever After puts the music first and foremost, because after all that’s what it should be about.

Formed in 2007, Sum Ever After is the result of a group of highly experienced musicians, who want nothing but to make awesome music.

The name Sum Ever After is an ironic one. It represents the fact that there is indeed a sum of all of us for ever.

So what do they sound like? Well, that’s for you to decide, but Sum Ever After plays a very diversified, unique form of alternative and modern rock music. Their songs cover a broad spectrum of the rock category, ranging from the simple melodic ballads to massive, screaming riffs. The sound is undeniably unique and no matter what type of song you hear of theirs, you’ll always know who it is, by their very distinctive sound.

Sum Ever After goes to great care to fuse big riffs with lots of melody. ‘Its all about what to use and when to use it’, they say. ‘If you want to portray anger in your songs, that doesn’t mean you have to riff it up and make it as evil as possible. And this applies equally if you want to portray something positive, you don’t have to get the candles out and chill. Its good to keep people on their toes and make them listen properly. Music provokes emotion of various sorts in people and if you can provoke that emotion in people, then you’ve done your job’.

Sum Ever After's music, lyrically focuses on the darker side of life and whilst there is an overhanging sense of cynicism in the lyrics, the songs look at things from a positive perspective. Songs like ‘One Night Stand’ deal with loss and coming to terms with that and the blistering ‘You Said’ looks at the anger felt when promises get broken and lies are dealt. ‘I write songs about what people are going through,gone through and going to go through’ says Keith, the bands vocalist.

So all that’s left to say is, enjoy!
