Led by Christopher Pappas (songwriter/guitars/vocals) who is accompanied by Joe Seiders (drums/vocals), Kyle Fredrickson (lead guitar) and Eli Scheer (guitars/keyboards/vocals), the regional notoriety that the band's first two albums have brought them has been outstanding. And the band was able to accomplish it all without label support. "The things that we've worked for haven't come easy," reflects Pappas. "We haven't been 'discovered' by a label, we haven't 'met the right people' all we've done over the years is honed our talent and voices and just plugged along, doing what we've done. I feel like we're the Bad News Bears in a sense."
All of that plugging along has really paid off. They were voted "Best Band in NH" by New Hampshire Magazine and earned numerous top ten "Record of the Year" accolades in local publications including The Boston Metro. Their second record was wildly successful on radio, making The Everyday Visuals the third most-played unsigned band nationally for three weeks according to Media Guide; coming in only behind Clap You Hand Say Yeah and MC Lars.
Backing up the praise for The Everyday Visuals' recorded work has been their solid reputation as a live band, earning them "Best Live Act" from The Improper Bostonian as well as a "Best Live Act" nomination from the 2008 Boston Music Awards. "I think more than anything, we always considered ourselves first and foremost to be a live band," notes Seiders. Pappas adds, "Every show we play only makes us hungrier to play another. Every song I write leads me to search for a better one. I think that's why we are able to connect so well to our audience."
