I Believe

Hey Guys,

As I said last week, the band has been working crazy hard. They're planning on having a show sometime within the next month or so, and we're all pretty amped about that. I've got another song for you guys. This one was co-written by Amber and I.

The song is called I Believe

,TJ and EF

I Believe

Verse1
I feel there's an angel
Flying over my head
I feel there's a demon
Lying in my bed
At night I'm living
And awake I feel dead
I don't know
What I'm doing here
Or if I belong above

Chorus
I'm tired, I'm weak
There's nothing left in me
But when I feel your presence
I believe
I don't know what I need
But there's a fire burning in me
And when you're here beside me
I believe

Verse2
I'm trying so hard
To believe what you say
I'm trying so hard
To trust you everyday
And I'm trying so hard
To give you my heart
I just don't know
If I believe
In the miracle of love

Chorus
I'm tired, I'm weak
There's nothing left in me
But when I feel your presence
I believe
I don't know what I need
But there's a fire burning in me
And when you're here beside me
I believe

Verse3
There's a part of me
That knows just what you mean
There's a part of me
That's trying so hard to believe
But there's a part of me
That wants to pack up and leave
I can't help but
Think that maybe
Part of me is wrong

Chorus
I'm tired, I'm weak
There's nothing left in me
But when I feel your presence
I believe
I don't know what I need
But there's a fire burning in me
And when you're here beside me
I believe

Chorus2
I have doubts, I have fears
I wanna rip my heart out of me
But then I hear you tell me
To believe
I wanna shout, I want to scream
It's chaos, I'm bursting at the seams
But then I hear you tell me
You love me

Chorus
I'm tired, I'm weak
There's nothing left in me
But when I feel your presence
I believe
I don't know what I need
But there's a fire burning in me
And when you're here beside me
I believe


In love again(I believe)
In hope again(I believe)
In me

The Revival

Hey Guys,

The band has been working pretty hard lately to get ready for some shows during the spring, and we've been working on some new songs. I decided that I'd share one of them with you guys. Hopefully I will have another update for you guys in the next few days.
The song is called The Revival
,TJ and EF

The Revival
(Bring back the Sun)


Verse1
It's been a while
Since I've held you in my arms
It's been a while
Since you've opened up my eyes
It's been a while
Since I saw a smile like yours
It's been too long
Since I was in love with you
And now I can see
What your leaving has done to me

Chorus
Bring back the sun
Bring back the sun
I don't understand
Why you had to run away
Bring back the sun
Bring back the sun
I just want this
Pain to go away

Verse2
Give it a chance
Don't try to hide from this
Give me a chance
And maybe then you'll see
Take a chance
You've got nothing to lose
It's a risk
With a reward worth having
If we try
Maybe we can be happy

Chorus
Bring back the sun
Bring back the sun
I don't understand
Why you had to run away
Bring back the sun
Bring back the sun
I just want this
Pain to go away

Bridge
It's time
For you to come back now
Right now
I need to see you
Tonight
I need to be with you
I gotta be with you
Let's have a revival
And bring it back

Chorus
Bring back the sun
Bring back the sun
I don't understand
Why you had to run away
Bring back the sun
Bring back the sun
I just want this
Pain to go away

Chorus2
Bring back the sun
Bring back the sun
I'm running in circles
When will this be over
Bring back the sun
Bring back the sun
You're running away
So I'm giving it up

Ashley - Vocals

What's up guys, this is Ashley. I'm one of the 'Back-Up' Vocalists for Evenflow


Name: Ashley Blackstone
Age: 19
As I said before, I'm one of the 'back-up' vocalists. And I put 'back-up' in quotes because I hate being called that. But Drew is a crybaby so I have to say that that's what I am or he will kick me out of the band.

,Ashley and EF

T.J. - Lyricist, 'Manager'

Name: T.J. Woolfolk
Age: 20
I was once the Synth player for EvenFlow but other things impeded my ability to fully commit to the band. So now I'm the lyricist and basically the 'dad' of the band. I make sure they're practicing and that they have everything set up for their studio time and generally baby them when they're ego's are bruised for whatever reason. It's a 24/7 job really. But I love it and love these guys.

, T.J. and EF

Nick - Drumset/Percussion

Name: Nick Williams
Age: 22

I'm the oldest, and therefore, the dad. I'm the set player, and therefore, I get all the chicks.
That seems like all the info you need to know.
But I'll be nice and give you more.

I've been drumming for more entire life. Started set when I was 8, marched drumline in high school and marched a season with Atlanta Corpsvets.

I write some of the percussion parts, but generally T.J. does all of the writing for the band. You can tell when I write because the parts are way more awesome.

,Nick and EF

Chase - Bass Guitar

Hey Guys

Name: Chase Bartlett
Age: 20
Name is Chase, as I've said. And I play Bass(yes I'm aware that my name and what I play rhyme. Cute ain't it?) Guitar for Evenflow. We are the best band ever. And that's really all you need to know about us.

,Chase and EF

Jason - Rhythm/Lead Guitar

Ladies and Gentlemen(but mainly ladies) I present the only reason any of you actually like this band: The One and Only Jason Withouse.

The guys laugh, but they know it's true.


Name: Jason Withouse
Age: 18
I play Rhythm Guitar mainly, but jam on Lead sometimes when T.J. is too lazy to write a Rhythm Part. Lol. This band is awesome. I love all of these guys like family. Infact they are like family. And hopefully one day we will be living like one, traveling across the country touring and shit. It'll be a blast.

Jason and EF

Alex - Lead Guitar

Hey Guys,

I'm being forced by the rest of the band to do this stupid bio thing. So here goes

Name: Alex Winters(Yes I'm Amber's little brother..It sucks)
Age: 20
I play Lead for the band, but sometimes Jason and I switch and I'll play Rhythm.
I've been playing since I was about 12. Been friends with Chase and T.J. for a couple years now and was amped about the idea of starting a band. Hopefully this will grow into something mega and we can take you guys along with us.
Favorite band is by far Linkin Park, and I'm trying to get the guys to do a Nu Metal type song as sort of a tribute to them. We'll see.

Stay Frosty ladies and gents

Don't Give Up On Us Yet

Sup Guys,

It's been far too long since we've updated this. Mainly because the band has taken a bit of a break. With my(TJ's) leaving that put things into a bit of a mess. But I finally got things back on track and they are heading back into the studio soon, and with new songs.

While the guys have been doing some soul searching and practicing and focusing on school and the such, I've been writing. Writing a lot. There are a plethora of new songs. And they will be jammed soon enough, I promise. We're also working on setting up the EF website. It's taking a bit more time than expected, but it will happen. And we will get the music to you guys soon enough.

And, we(Mainly I) will be updating this more often. I'll be getting updates from Chase and the guys(and two lovely ladies) about how things are going and send it right to you guys so you can keep tabs on the band. Hopefully they'll be playing some shows soon, so be on the look out for that. Once they figure out their schedules we will let you guys know when and where the band will make their first official live appearance so STAY TUNED.

Some Pretty Big News

Sup Guys,

Drew here. Sorry about the lack of updating this thing guys. We will try to be better about that starting now.

First off, we have made some changes to the band. Sadly T.J. is no longer playing with the band. He will still be very much involved with the band though. He is still going to be our lyricist, and he's basically our 'manager' now.
So Amber will be taking over the Synth playing, while still doing vocals. It's worked out pretty well so far.

In other news, the band has finished recording out Demo. Finally!! LOL. It's taken us months but we finally did it.
Hopefully we will get a site up soon so we can start selling them so you guys can jam to our tunes. And if you pirate our shit WE WILL FIND AND KILL YOU!! No, but seriously, that shit isn't cool.

So, as some of you might not know, all of us are HUGE Anime lovers. We're obsessed with it. And one of our favorites is an Anime called 'Death Note'. If you haven't heard of it YOU NEED TO CHECK IT OUT RIGHT NOW!! It is pretty stinkin awesome. Well anyways, TJ brought us the idea of doing a cover of the title theme for Death Note and we finally finished it. It sounds pretty rockin if I do say so myself. We recorded two versions. One of them was with myself and the girls singing the Japanese lyrics, and the other was the English translation of the lyrics. Yes we learned an entire song in Japanese. It was awesome. Hopefully we will get that on the web soon so you guys can check it out.

That's about all for now. Stay chill guys.

Drew H.
Frontman
EvenFlow


Oh and one more thing. TJ will hopefully be getting his book published soon. So be sure to check back for info on that. Or go to his blog mazzusmind.blogspot.com and check and see when he's going to be hitting the shelves. Hopefully it will get turned into an Anime so we can make the shows soundtrack. How killer would that be! I believe the book is 'The Lost Soul:Iku'. So be sure to look out for that.

Update-2/5/09

Just a quick update from the band.
We're still working on putting some stuff together before we send out the songs. So far we've just made some minor adjustments to some of the songs, specifically 'Prove It' and 'Wings of the Fallen'. We also made some changes to our cover or 'Fly From the Inside' to make it just a little more original. It sounded pretty intense when we ran through it Tuesday night. Hopefully this weekend we will be able to get it completely solid and recorded.
Other than that not much can be said. Hope you guys are doing well. And if you need something to take the edge off while you wait to finally hear our kick-ass-osity(word 'copyrighted' by Drew/Evenflow) then we all recommend you check out The Fray's new CD, 'The Fray'. We've all been raving about it since we first got to listen to it.
Soon we will probably post the lyrics to another one of our songs. So be on the lookout for that.

Shinedown

Sup Guys,

So this was a pretty interesting week for the band. Aside from starting the blog and working on out own website, we've been recording songs and working on our demo. So far we have 8 original songs, and 2 Shinedown covers.
We worked on recording cover's of 'Breaking Inside' and 'Fly From the Inside', both Shinedown songs that all of us love. It was interesting working on the songs because, with Amber and Ashley, we had a different element to work with. But I think that we pulled it off pretty damn well. Hearing the final version of the two songs, I think we did a great job. The girls did an excellent job, as did the rest of the band.
Other than those two songs, we've recorded 8 of our own songs. We plan on getting some more done, but might just wait until we get our band out there and start rocking people's faces off. 'Running Away from Me'(consensus favorite song of the band), 'Wings of the Fallen', 'The Ascent', 'Prove It', 'Teach Me', 'Shadow of Myself', 'I Lust You Too', and 'Hate the World'.
Hopefully we will have a set release date soon, so be on the look-out for our demo. We will find a way to get it to you guys. We are going to set up a myspace soon as well. If you guys want to talk to any of us, you can e-mail the band or us individually.
,Much Love
Evenflow

Drew - Lead Vocals, Lyrics

Hey. I'm Drew Housen, the Lead Vocalist of Evenflow( the most kickass band EVER).
I am also the Co-Lyricist,along with T.J., for the band.

Background info..I guess I could tell you that. I've been singing since I was a tot, and loved it and kept singing and still loved it so I still do it. And now I'm trying to get famous and have girls throw their clothing on the stage as I sing to them with my rockin' band.
And, ladies, I do not have a chick-counterpart at the moment so if you want to audition feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

,Drew and EF

Amber - Vocalist, Synth, Percussion

Hey,
This is Amber.

Name: Amber Winters
Age: 20

As Alex said, I am his older sister.
Prior to T.J. leaving the band I handled mostly Back-Up Vocals with Ashley. But once he left I took over the Synth parts and Percussive stuff as well. I've been singing since I was 9, and drumming since I was 14. Started playing piano when I was about 7.

,Amber and EF

TJ - Synth, Percussion, Lyrics

Sup guys,

It's T.J. So, as Chase mentioned earlier,we're going to be doing a stupid bio thingy so that our fans can get to know us.
And since we're all in one place at the same time(we're heading to see The Fray tonight. gonna be intense. Not as intense as our shows will be though) we decided to do this now and get it over with. And, of course, the jerks all elected for me to go first. So let's get this over with.

Name: T.J. Woolfolk
Age: 20(efffff I'm old)
I'm the main Synth player for the band. Also, I play percussion on our acoustic songs, and I'm the co-lyricist for the band.
I've been obsessed with music ever since the first time I heard a rock album(Human Clay-Creed). And since then I've been determined about doing 2 things: teching my own drumline, and rocking the world's socks off. Some people thought that my not playing drumset would limit my ability to do the latter, but we all know how badass Rush is with their Synth parts in their songs. And that's what I bring to our kickass band, Evenflow.
Umm..I guess that's about it. Any questions, just ask.

, T.J. and EF

Running Away from Me

Sup Guys,
This is T.J. I'm basically the mastermind behind this whole operation. lol. I've always been writing songs and music is my obsession. And one weekend Sophomore year(geez that was an eventful year) I met some guys that wanted to start a band. And ever since then we've been planning things out. And now we're finally ready to start rocking the world.
I'm not quite going to do the whole life-story/bio thing yet. Instead I'm stealing Chase's idea and posting one of our songs. This one was written by myself and Alex. It's called Running Away from Me. Hope you guys like it. Let us know what you think.
p.s. Hopefully we will have an official website up soon and will put the mp3's to these jams on the website. if not we will find a way to get them to you. Hell, we might just end up e-mailing you all(whoever you guys are.) and getting the mp3's to you that way. But we will find a way, I promise.
,Much Love
T.J. and EF


(Why are you)
Running Away from me


Verse 1
Eventually
You’re gonna have to talk to me
You’re gonna have to tell me why
You have been avoiding me
Is it something I did?
Was it something I said?
Please tell me now
Cause this can’t be the end
Chorus
Why are you
Running away from me
Are you
Afraid of what we could be
Please tell me
So I can save us
Please tell me why you are
Running away from me
Verse 2
So please explain this to me
You told me that you loved me
You told me that it’d be great
If we could be together
So what has changed? (Please tell me now)
Was it something I said? (Please tell me now)
I just don’t understand (Please tell me now)
Why this has to end (Now!!)
Chorus2
Why are you
Running away from me
Why do you
Think it’d be so bad to be with me
What do you
See in him, but not in me
Please tell me why you are
Running away from me
Verse 3
Please just stop running
And stop lying to me
Please tell me the truth now
I just want to know how
This is what we came to be
After you said you loved me
I don’t understand how
This is where we are now
Bridge
Just answer this question
And please just stop running
I have just one question
Why are you running?
Please answer the question
And stop running away
Just answer this question
Why won’t you be with me?
Chorus3
Why are you
Running away from me
Why do you
Keep pushing me away
Do you think
That I’m not good enough for you

Please tell me why you are running
Please tell me why you are running
Please tell me why you are
Running Away From Me
