Evergreen Terrace is a five-piece American metalcore band from Jacksonville, Florida. Formed in 1999, they are named after the street inhabited by the Simpsons. The band's sixth and latest studio album Dead Horses was released on December 10, 2013, via Rise Records.
History
Formation and early recordings
Formed in 1999 by Josh James (guitar), Andrew Carey (vocals), Josh "Woody" Willis (guitar), Josh Smith (bass) and Christopher Brown (drums), the band released one Demo-EP and a Split-EP together with Cordelle within the first year of being a band. Within 8 months of the beginning of the band Woody and Josh Smith were replaced by Craig Chaney (guitar/vocals) and Jason Southwell (bass). In 2001 their debut-album Losing All Hope Is Freedom was released via Indianola Records on July 31.[1] Under the same label they released a Split-EP together with xOne Fifthx, on May 20, 2002, titled XOne FifthX vs. Evergreen Terrace. Shortly after the release of the split Josh James (guitar) joined xOne Fifthx and continued playing with Evergreen Terrace.
Later in 2002 they signed with
In 2005 they released a live-DVD called Hotter! Wetter! Stickier! Funner![2] The same year they released their third studio-album entitled Sincerity Is an Easy Disguise in This Business on June 21. Shortly after, drummer Christopher Brown left the band and was replaced by Kyle Mims. The next few years were spent touring non-stop, worldwide. Including tours with As I Lay Dying, Rise Against, Hatebreed and more.
Metal Blade years
In February 2007 they signed under High Impact Recordings, a Metal Blade Records-sub label founded by As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis. Later on July 24, their fourth album Wolfbiker was released. Evergreen Terrace toured with As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, and Still Remains in early 2008.[3] In addition to this tour, the band played every date of the 2008 Warped Tour.[4]
In June 2008 the band released Blowing Chunks through Hand of Hope Records, which contained two unreleased songs from the Wolfbiker studio sessions.[5] It is available on 7" vinyl and digital download only.
On September 25, 2009, they released their fifth album
In December 2010 they attended the European Persistence Tour 2010, together with
Summer 2011 found Evergreen Terrace on tour with Bury Your Dead, For the Fallen Dreams, and several other bands.
Rise Records and Dead Horses
In the fall of 2012, the band announced via their Facebook page that Josh James has left Evergreen Terrace to play full-time with
Brad Moxey was seriously injured on February 8, 2015, causing the band to cancel their upcoming tour.[9]
Andrew Carey's departure and return
On June 1, 2015, Andrew Carey announced he had quit Evergreen Terrace after 15 years as their vocalist.[10] A statement from Andrew Carey says "I quit Evergreen Terrace. As Danny Glover would often say in the hit movies from the 90's, Lethal Weapon 1, 2, and 3, 'I'm getting too old for this shit.' Thanks to everyone who supported us throughout the years."[11]
In a statement from Evergreen Terrace on Facebook, they say they have been playing shows without Andrew for 'quite a while'. They cite Andrew's focus on a career in nursing as the reason he hasn't been playing shows with the band but are unclear if his focus on his career is also the reason for him deciding to leave Evergreen Terrace.[12]
As of September 2016, Andrew "Drew" Carey is back in the band. A comment to the band's August 10, 2016 Facebook status update "Riffs... Happening..." made by the band on September 9, 2016, states "Did I mention Andrew is back on vocals?". On April 22, 2017, the band announced in addition to Carey that original drummer Christoper Brown was back in the band, although his return would prove to be short-lived.[13] In 2018, the ensemble announced that they are working on a new album.[14]
In July 2022, the band started a European tour but bassist Jason Southwell and drummer Brad Moxey were not present. When asked about their absence, the other band members responded by stating that Southwell was still in the band, but sitting the tour out, and that Moxey had "quit music;" ex-Yellowcard drummer Longineu W. Parsons III was hired as Moxey's replacement.[15] On August 3, Moxey released a statement via Lambgoat confirming the band's statement, saying he was focusing on his family.[16]
