Everclear Biography

Everclear is a rock band formed in Portland Oregon in 1992 best known for their radio hits spanning more than a decade. For most of its existence Everclear has consisted of Art Alexakis (vocals and guitar) Craig Montoya (bass guitar and vocals) and Greg Eklund (drums percussion and vocals). Eklund replaced original drummer Scott Cuthbert in 1994. Montoya and Eklund departed the band in 2003 but Alexakis continued the band with Dave “Davey” French (guitar) Josh Crawley (keyboards) Sam Hudson (bass guitar) and Tommy Stewart (drums percussion). However all members except for Alexakis left the band in July 2009 to be replaced with a third lineup of Everclear.
Everclear began by recording in a friend's basement essentially bartering for recording time with musical gear and whatever limited funds they could scrounge up. The sessions culminated in two releases the “Nervous and Weird” EP and the band's first full-length release “World of Noise” both released by Portland's Tim/Kerr Records in 1993.
In May 1995 the band released their first album for Capitol Records “Sparkle and Fade.” The album's lead single “Heroin Girl” performed well on college radio but did not gain significant mainstream airplay. That would be granted to their follow up single “Santa Monica” which effectively put Everclear on the map. The album subsequently was certified platinum.
