Origin and History
Formation: Everclear was formed in Portland, Oregon, by Art Alexakis (vocals, guitar), Craig Montoya (bass, backing vocals), and Greg Eklund (drums). The band began playing locally and gained a following in the Pacific Northwest before achieving wider recognition.
Early Years: The band released their debut album, *World of Noise*, in 1993, but it was their second album, *Sparkle and Fade* (1995), that brought them mainstream success. The album featured a more polished sound and was well-received by critics and fans.
Peak Success: Everclear’s 1997 album, *So Much for the Afterglow*, solidified their place in the alternative rock scene. The band continued to release albums and tour throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. They faced several lineup changes over the years but Art Alexakis remained the central figure.
Later Years: The band released subsequent albums like *Songs from an American Movie Vol. One: Learning How to Smile* (2000) and *Songs from an American Movie Vol. Two: Good Time for a Bad Attitude* (2001). Though they continued to tour and release new music, their commercial success diminished over time. They have remained active with tours and new releases.
