About EVERCLEAR:
WELCOME TO THE DRAMA CLUB is undeniably EVERCLEAR–searing autobiographical songs matched with music born from both the punk and classic rock eras–and opens up an exciting new chapter for the group who earned a four-star album review in Rolling Stone for 2004’s 20-track career retrospective Ten Years Gone: The Best of Everclear 1994-2004. EVERCLEAR’s body of work is marked by multi-million sales, critical praise, a Grammy nomination and awards including the 1998 Billboard “Modern Rock Artist of the Year” honor. "…Alexakis makes it all vivid through accumulation of detail, and he spits it out with a Lennon-like candor and an unruly, unstoppable energy," wrote the Los Angeles Times’ Richard Cromelin about 1997’s double platinum So Much For The Afterglow. After two years of heavy touring in support of Afterglow, the group took the unorthodox route of releasing two different and acclaimed albums in the same year, 2000’s Songs From An American Movie, Volumes 1 & 2, following those releases with 2003’s Slow Motion Daydream.
About ELEVEN SEVEN:
Founded by Allen Kovac, CEO of 10th Street Entertainment, a leading music marketing and management company, Eleven Seven Music was developed in association with ADA, a Warner Music Group company, as an incubator label to develop bands for potential “upstreaming” to the WMG family. Its artists also include Buckcherry, Everclear, The New Cars, Marion Raven, The Exies and JonnyLives! The label’s inaugural release (Buckcherry’s new album 15) was picked up by Atlantic Records after the first week in stores and has become one of the top selling rock albums for 2006.
