THE EVENS are a band from Washington, D.C, IAN MACKAYE (FUGAZI) plays baritone guitar and AMY FARINA (THE WARMERS) plays drums, They
both sing, Their songs are multifaceted yet efficient; straightforward yet sublime; you'll hear a new
detail each time.The Evens play stripped down, almost folk-like, variations on the rock song, Their sound relies on intimacy as much as intensity, their lyrics as politically charged as they are emotionally wrought, Yet at the heart of the band's dynamic is a certain quietitude and sensitivity that ties all this together into a strong pop sensibility.
