Evan Hammer

In December 2007, Evan Hammer released his first album, Bright Day for a Frog’s Rebellion - an eclectic rock album that collects entrapped and disenchanted surrealistic visuals, modern garage rock tones and energy, a battering of longing and loss, and acoustic explorations of the worlds that lunatics and lovers build. Evan wrote the music and lyrics, played bass guitar, and was the producer for the album; he worked with four singers, three guitarists, two drummers, and an upright bassist to record it, and Jack Gauthier (Dispatch, John Hammond) and John Mailloux (Dispatch, Leah Stargazing) to mix and master it. Since the album has various singers and bands on it, the music is able to tap into a variety of rock styles - modern garage rock, acoustic folk, British rock, and even rockabilly. Bright Day for a Frog’s Rebellion struggles with and celebrates the conflict between the bleak world of disappointment and frustration, and the surreal world of love and exploration.
