AMONG THIS ALL

Since 2008 Among This All has been playing together; sharing a passion for making music that matters. Their heavy themed alternative rock, on the verge of Paramore, Ivoryline, and Anberlin, first turned into shape in 2009 when the band released 'no statues'. Up Magazine wrote that "the four songs are powerful" and that Among This All is "one of Holland's most promising bands." The four-track EP led to shows with bands such as Destine, Only Seven Left and Blaudzun. The EP also created an opportunity for performance on radiostations 3FM and 538 and TV-performance on 'De Wereld Draait Door' (popular talk show on national TV) and two bedroom tours; a self-booked tour through the country, playing in the bedrooms of their fans. Among This All's second EP 'Don't Shoot The Messenger' focuses on society's individualism. Singer Aad Reinds discusses the growing threat of losing connections in life, leading to an end void of love. A life where you base decisions on nothing but yourself, and don't think about others. The main thought on this record is: "You can close your eyes and stop thinking, but it won't take away the broken hearts." The EP implies to change the world by loving others as you love yourself. Not by doing that once or twice to make yourself feel better, but to make it a lifestyle. Aad comments: "We also have a hard time doing "the right thing". It often happens that we face the other way when we have the opportunity to help someone. Writing this record organized my thoughts on everything that's going on in this world and how we could, and should, react to that."
