Evans Blue

Evans Blue specialize in modern active rock, delivering big guitars and bigger choruses, with impassioned vocals sketching tough romantic breaks and vitriolic social commentary in between. The Pursuit…, the Toronto-bred quintet's second album, alternates between raging thunderclaps of semi-metal/emo rock (see the opener) and modern day power ballads Nickelback wouldn't mind having written themselves. But unless you just got dumped, it's the rockers you'll be coming back for, especially "Shine Your Cadillac."
